Missing Betty

Thinking about my mom, Betty Ludlow, and missing her today. 

Virtual Marathon

 Note to self:  run virtual marathon on or around the date of the Chicago Marathon- October 11th. 

How does someone stay motivated and stay focused when running a solo marathon with no support and no goal other than to go as fast as they can?  I have no idea! But I'm going to try this. Maybe I can find some sap willing to do this with me? Maybe music is the key? Listen to pod casts and music the whole way as motivation???
