For now... I had a request about this strange "MB" person that seems to be following me everywhere and running my marathons. Well, MB is "MaryBeth" or "Crazy Lady" or just "Mom." Yep! My mom runs most of my marathons too! (*AWWWW*) She travels with me, stays with me at hotels and makes sure her baby gets fed while traveling!!! Very important! It's nice because almost 3 years ago, upon graduation of college, I left NY and didn't go back. Now, even though I live so far away, I get to see her 2 or 3 weekends a month. Crazy, right? Totally
Well it's funny somebody asked me about her last night because... TODAY happens to be her BIRTHDAY!!!!
Happy Birthday MB!!!
The Flu??
MB not only shares the same marathons, hotels, and overall super-model-esque looks-- errrr-- she also shares GERMS with me!!! She brought a Flu this weekend that she picked up from my "Pit Crew Chief"-- yeah so I give my parents fun names, who doesn't??-- and gave it to me!!
Yep, I have the FLU! I've been sick all week. But, this is the year of running smart!!! If I feel sick or rundown I rest! If I feel achy I give it a break and ice! So this week I'm resting, much against my nature. I just started feeling a little better today and I'm hoping to keep it up. This weekend is my birthday celebration weekend since I'll be away next weekend for a--duh-- marathon.
Anyways, hope you're all having a wonderful time running-- I'm having a wonderful time with my night time nyquil and sleep! :)
-Happy Running ZzZzZzZzzZZZzzz
Awwww Happy Birthday Momma Dukes and I hope you both feel better soon! Seriously though, that is so friggin awesome that she follows you along on your crazy marathoning escapades! Best mom EVER! So jealous right now! I couldn't even convince my family to come see me finish my first marathon... well my dad and cousin was there and I am so thankful but I never did a whole dedication post to them prior like I did my Aunt and brothers... *I swear I'm not bitter*
ReplyDeleteI think I was the one asking about MB the other day...and I thought maybe based on your last post that it was your mom but in the pictures she looks so young I didn't think it was possible!
