The image of Villa to the Tweeter center really scares me the most! OH my gosh lady, that is unreal. I am so proud and amazed by your dedication. You have shown real strength and commitment and I can't wait to be there on Sunday to cheer you on! Ok and to see Tracy in sneakers is also a highlight....heeee
Good luck Katie! I have so enjoyed following your journey in the very worthy quest. I am very proud of you for your dedication to the Marine Marathon! You go Girl! Best of luck to you in the big race. Love, Aunt Kate (Ha)
YES! I love reading about the Adventures of Katie. So do you want us to send you 4 songs, or do you just want 4 songs? Here are my 4
Born to be Alive. you know this song. Its some cheesy 80s songs and I think the only lyrics are "and we were born....born to be alive...dut de de de de...."
Svefn-g-englar by Sigor Ros. You need to listen to this around mile 23 when its finally dawning on you that yes, you are going to run 26.2 miles
The Rites of Spring by Stravinsky. It s pretty long, like over 45 min I think. There are 6 or 7 pieces and you really need to listen to all of it in one sitting. Listen to this when you are really hurting, and consider yourself lucky that you are not one of the Russian virgins being sacrificed that this piece was written about.
Gimme More by Brittney. Do you really need a reason why? Cause its Brittney bitch.
