I'm sure you hear this all the time, but you're a huge inspiration to me and proof of just how much one can accomplish with commitment, training, sheer stubbornness, and the occasional race that's more difficult to quit than finish.Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-7334551883837217932011-05-24T18:52:39.376-06:002011-05-24T18:52:39.376-06:00Yes, your comments are very funky today. I'm ...Yes, your comments are very funky today. I'm attempting to comment on the JMTR recap, let's see if Blogger will let me...<br /><br />With that ladder, I will probably never ever do this race, BUT the fact that the race overall sounds like fun (in that sick and twisted kind of way) just reinforces my belief that I am an endurance athlete. Not a sprinter. Running Boston and/or a 7 minute mile holds no appeal for me. Eating a popsicle after ten hours on my feet does.<br /><br />You did amazing!!

I'm really impressed with her- I don't think I'd be able to move if I was carrying around an extra 100 lbs. She will be so thrilled when she's lighter. I'm excited to hear about her journey.<br /> <br />Good job on your recent races, and congrats on finishing coursework (forever right?).<br /><br />CynthiaDrs.

I wonder which would be more difficult, waking up every morning for four mornings knowing you're running a marathon, or just going out there and getting the 100 miles over with in one shot. Whichever, if you get the six stars I will have a serious case of star envy!

She sounds like my niece, except my niece had half of a family to take care of her. Not quite the same as your mom, though, even when it's a much better situation than being with your mom would be.<br /><br />Awesome that she finished the workout. I remember doing C25K last year. I thought those first 60 second runs would kill me. <br /><br />I have no iPad, but my iPhone is similarly screwy with the auto correct. "miles" is regularly changed to "mikes". Abbreviating "books" to "bks" for twitter is not good because the phone changes bks to bjs.
