I Finally did the full marathon on Sunday!!! Yippee!! I'm so excited -- I did what I set out to do which was run a marathon before I turned 50!
I had very good support --- I didn't get the best training in -- my own fault -- but did have hubby standing by to keep me going. He met me several times on the course with candy, food -- water --- plus there was good support on the course with water and gatorade. It was a slow race for me but I had a good time.
I hope to be a little faster next time with a bit more training.

More of the same
Well, things were getting better for a little while on the drinking front --- hubby never actually went one day without anything -- but was down to about two drinks a night instead of the customary 3-4. That WAS an improvement.
The last couple of weeks have gotten worse --- he has been going out to lunch on wednesdays more often and every one of them was a total drunk. And then he drives. It is not far -- but someone could get killed in just the first 100 yds. He would also lose his job with a car company --- which I'm sure he would hate.
Tonight I am going to try to bring this up and make some points --- see if he does any better. I'm not very hopeful at this point. In the meantime, my step-son has quit drinking -- and he had a serious problem also.
