Marathon Weekend is Here!!

Well, the Marathon weekend is here and Allan and I and Sheridan are off to Melbourne tomorrow.  The big race is on Sunday - with the incredible date 9-10-11!  It has been such a journey for Allan over the past 5 years since his heart surgery to get to this point - he is an amazing inspiration and it is just awesome lining up for our first full marathon together. Over the past year, we have run several times a week, worked out in the gym and really worked hard on core strength.  And we have pulled muscles - and did I mention the sports massages...ouch and arhhh! We have bought so many books and magazines for both inspiration and information - and learnt about nutrition, race structure, cool gear and mental strategies.  People ask, what time will we do - the answer is, whatever time it takes!  We have got to the starting line with a completely different outlook on life, stronger bodies and have learnt a heck of a lot along the way - and the great thing is, the learning never stops.  So every step after the starting line, is upside!  Goes to show, there's no such thing as "can't" - we can always try - and who knows what you might learn and who you might meet along the way!  Go Team Johnson - have an absolutely awesome adventure!!
