Hello! Emily is my name! Never done a physical marathon, nor a writing marathon, but the physical is my weakest, but the writing is my strongest, but the challenge on the ladder is what I’m looking forward to.  Aspiring to be like Emily Dickinson (but only happy) would be nice, but hopefully I can face this challenge that I brought into my life.  This I’ve never done before, but looking forward to be amongst the best –  is alone a great reward.  To prepare for the this expedition, is doing a lot of thinking, and a lot of scribbling and make sure that I’m stocked up on some Gatorade and water bottles as I take on this quest.  This half marathon already feels like a triathlon, but can’t back down now my family is waiting for me at the finish line with their pom poms and screaming my name.  Must concentrate….

P.S. I will not be taking any steroids for this…….
