I've impressed myself completely with what I've done over the last few months, and I now know I can do it, when before I was sure I wouldn't ever do something like that. This post rang so true for me!Lara Neveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351324888724799014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-38960542333909929802011-05-22T19:57:42.609-06:002011-05-22T19:57:42.609-06:00So true, Rae!

The longer of a distance a person runs, the more esteem I have for them (you, Rae!). I would love to run the St. George marathon, but it might take a couple of years to get the right timing. :)<br />I love that you love running. It makes me so happy to see that particular fire in you!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02735499736746855183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-73803621666739006812011-05-18T13:22:34.080-06:002011-05-18T13:22:34.080-06:00oh PS: I totally react/benefit from visualizing.

When I realized it was something people still do, not just the devoted and somewhat crazy messenger who did it first, I was hooked! <br />I'm working out every day so that I will have a quicker recovery when Scarlett's born, and I'll ease into my training sometime after. <br />I'm not afraid but a little bewildered as to how I start training (where do I run?!), but when I'm ready to get answers, I'll ask you questions! <br />I'm not ashamed of ground zero. :D You have to start somewhere, anyway! <br />I'm excited, Rae! I'm SO excited!Qaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090577030703367345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-22382682746094438252011-05-18T11:10:02.594-06:002011-05-18T11:10:02.594-06:00For the record, Sarah, you are NOT in any way medi...For the record, Sarah, you are NOT in any way mediocre!!

I h...Ummm, so here's where I confess a secret. I half want to just email you because I'm afraid to really say it out loud. I've wanted to do the St George Marathon for years. Being the first weekend in October, it always falls near my birthday, and my grandfather (after going to see his BIL finish) told me once that he saw people walking in the afternoon, taking so much longer than others- but they wanted to finish it. It's beautiful country. I want to do this. Next year, I turn 30, I want to do it next year. How AWESOME would that be?? But I'm not a runner. I have a bad back and bum ankles, I started training with the c25k program and hurt my knee. So I'm afraid. When I was in shape I could do a 5K in 30 minutes- on the elliptical. So I want to find a good yoga and pilates instructor/class/studio to keep me from getting to tight and injuring myself. And I want to run a 5K this summer. And if my body won't cooperate to run that marathon, I need a bike. Yep, I'm terrified. But if I have someone to run it with- then maybe I can commit and do it.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691885665641452804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156884172177070580.post-72971587275489554012011-05-16T16:38:21.312-06:002011-05-16T16:38:21.312-06:00What was it I said on the phone?

But you have inspired me to go talk to my doc and see if it is even feasable for me to think about jogging/running. I found a love for it, messed the knee up a little, had it fixed, got tendonitis and now I am afaid. <br /><br />Whenever I pass someone out for their jog/run I want to cry. I really want run, just run, for the pure joy of it. It's time for me to get up and find out if I can instead of being afraid.<br /><br />Thanks Rae and good luck.midRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838876288798618071noreply@blogger.com
