Go SoulChild! Go the distance!!

[Narnia]

Go SoulChild! Go! Go! Go!

In an effort to keep SoulChild's spirits up and going before her daunting and fast approaching date of Nov 2- the big day being a 26.2 mile marathon run!! I thought it would be a fun and good idea to try and rally up all of the MW members to show our support for you and we'll stand in the sidelines cheering you on, telling you: You can do it! Don't give up! Keep on going because you're strong! You ROCK!!

So, let's give our dear SoulChild be cheer for her big endeavour - run well, stay focused, stay hydrated and be well!

This is #5 right?

[Mr. Brightside]

Go Soulchild,

enjoy the marathon, good luck Elizabeth

Go Soulchild Go

What city does the marathon take place?

Like fallin rain
The days go by
Can't kill the pain
And you wonder why
Be strong
Hold on
Lottla love to go around
Stay wild
Soul child
Don't you let 'em bring you down
It's like a dream
Wake me up when it's over
Somewhere in between
Enemy and lover
Walk proud
Sing out loud
It always hurts to wonder why
One more mile
My soul child
You'll never know until you try

Great Idea!

hmmmmmmmm.......... anyone know what music she listens to while she runs?

[SoulChild]

Thanks guys so so much! You all sure know how to bring tears to my eyes!!! WOW!!! Thanks so much!

The marathon starts 7am eastern standard time (USA) November 1, 2009 in Raleigh, NC (City of Oaks Marathon and Sony Ericson Half Marathon)...and I listen to Enigma...some Enya, some Jens, some Jean Michael Jarre.....You know, that new agey kind of music...ambient, relaxing.....music that moves me. Mostly Enigma.

Hey guys, you can actually see the pictures of me online at every marathon I have run so far...but, they are not so pretty!....lol

This will be my 4th marathon as I started with my first one in 2005 @ NYC when I was 30. I am now 34 and I plan to run a marathon every year untill I am 40...oh, what the heck...I'll continue to 50.

Thanks guys so much...remember, if you look me up online, I use my goverment name which is Elizabeth Hassan.

I am so excited!!!

You are truly amazing! Thank you so much!

This isnt enigma... but I thought it might motivate you like it does me

I BELIEVE

"I Believe I Can Fly"

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[1]
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, cause I believe in me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

[inutero]

You go girl with your bad self. I wish you the best.

[God's Toy]

Don't focus on the marathon become the marathon....

V

[SoulChild]

Thank you V, and you know what....I am going to make darn sure that I enjoy myself, view nature, and enjoy every moment of this. I don't think I will focus so much on time, on the pain, or even on the run itself. I am just going to move and think....like Planet Love.....I love this...thank you....I will become the marathon! I am tuff!

[SoulChild]

So, I think it is going to rain tomorrow......a little scared about that...actually, i should be excited..running in the rain is an experience in itself...as long as it is a drizzle it will be fine!.....counting down the hours......wooooooo, yes, I am going to run like two miles in a few minutes...I don't know why I am always doubting myself. I will do fine..its my race anyway! I can take as long or go as fast as I want. Just guys, please, I need your support...just think about me!!! PLEASE!!!! and we always need rain, so I am not wishing the rain away...just wish for a light drizzle insteasd of down pour!...wooohooo, here we gooooooo!!!!

Don't worry if it's raining cats or dogs or drizzling think of it as a cleansing of the self and purity..
as you are moving in the rain ask that all your personal fears be removed from mind and body...
if its shinning you can do the same ....
and then experience the physical marathon as a floating on air ...
do it all in your mind....
after that you will become that much renewed in mind..

My thoughts are always with you...don't fear
you have a special place in my mind/heart you are safe....
love hugs and kisses

[SoulChild]

Your words mean alot to me! I can't thank you enough!!!

I went running this morning...I was going for 2 miles. My first mile was rocky, so I said to myself, I hope I don't feel like this tomorrow...but, then into the second mile, I felt great...and light.....and I ended up doing 3 and a half miles, and I wanted to keep going. So, you guys are right! I think I will do great tomorrow!

If you guys have fit tv, I have all the Namaste Yoga episodes recorded, and today I did "Head to Knee" and "Seated Twist". the yoga series reall allows me to concentrate, and stretch out some of my hard working muscles! I have been doing yoga I think since 2004. Yet, I don't stay consistant, so there are still some things I cannot do. So, after this marathon tommorrow, I will begin to concentrate on flexability, and I actually want to begin learning belly dancing. Fit TV has a show called Shimmy....I will start following that for a while. I will also begin a blog here for the advanced exercisor and give fit tips and talk about everything I am doing. I am doing this in an effort to keep my motivation up, and to help others who may be interested. If I have no goals, or nothing coming up, I tend to fall off after the marathon...and gain a few pounds, so I don't want to do that this year. I am also on a path of becoming a vegiterian...and will also tell you guys about my progress on that.

So, I am feeling great, and I cannot wait to celebrate after! Wish all you guys were here with me so I can celebrate with you all...but, I guess we will have to celebrate internet style...lol

Heres to tommorrow!!!!!

[Enkde]

Go Elizabeth, GO

Fly and run to be the 1st one...

[brother]

here is a slightly modified quote from Isaiah that I look at....

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in LOVE will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

go get 'em girl

[Lion Spirit Walker]

May your feet move you as the winged feet of Mercury.
My heart is with you.

[SoulChild]
