You truly are inspiring, and running is something that I've always wanted to get into and yet never done because of my own weight. Lately I've been focusing a bit more on my fitness, so now that I'm pregnant with my second child I'll be on pause a little bit. But once I'm done with the pregnancy, perhaps I'll take a little more inspiration from you, and start putting feet to pavement in my "spare" time.

I ran one myself, my first ever, in late March this year, but with vastly different weather - it was in the low 40s when we started, windy and damp, and barely inching into the 50s when I finished, 2:34:56 later. I'm training for a marathon that's this December (Las Vegas, 12/07), and kinda intimidated. But, congratulations for completing such a challenge - I know exactly what you mean about feeling like you're going to run forever!

I've been contemplating doing a 1/2 marathon in December, so I went to your archives to see how you did. Congratulations on your 1/2 marathon! You completed it in awesome time! And you ran it all...wow! I was thinking of walking, maybe jogging a little. If you don't mind my asking...what training program did you follow?

I walked it, though, and when I saw the pictures of myself online I wanted to die. It inspired me to sign up for next year with a goal to weigh 50 pounds less than I did this year.

I am going to run it...hopefully next year. It really is a great race. And the weather this year was beautiful!!! (Too bad that training weather sucked!) Good job!
