Last week you learned that I am not a runner (yet!) but my very good friend Suzanne certainly is a good one. As a matter of fact, she is running the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Antonio Marathon today. Suzanne trained hard for this race through rain, relatives (right, Diane?) and a root canal! I am so impressed with her commitment to set a goal and see it through, no matter what the conditions.
When I think about running, I think about this episode of Friends…
Suzanne is a lot like Rachel in this video: Pretty, graceful, and confident. I’m a lot Phoebe: I’m kind of a goofball, my form could use improvement, and I’m not quite as serious about the sport (but I’m working on it).
Suzanne, Have a great race today and run like you’re running away from Satan, a flock of wild turkeys, or a even a mountain lion! I look forward to hearing and reading about this part of your journey on www.therunningmama.com. Now go out there and RUN LIKE A MOTHER!

November 15th 2009I love that clip! I think I must have missed that episode. Good luck to Suzanne!
The Candid RD says:
November 15th 2009Thanks for that clip! I watched the whole thing, I LOVE Friends. So you run like Phoebe?? haha, I doubt that, but if your running form isn’t perfect, I think that’s ok. It will get better as you practice more!
Diane says:
November 15th 2009Ha ha! It’s me again. If you go to the website of the San Antonio Rock and Roll Marathon, you can watch the finish line LIVE, plus track Suzanne’s progress!
Joanna Sutter says:
November 15th 2009I’m heading that way, Diane! I logged in yesterday to see if I could track Suzanne’s splits on my cell phone but apparently my phone or my plan isn’t quite up to the task. Shucks!
