When I started, I could barely run a full minute without stopping. This past Friday I ran a solid 20 minutes & felt a similar boost of energy/encouragement. It was an unbelievable rush and such a strong feeling of accomplishment, I can see why people get hooked on this!<br /><br />The thought of running a marathon totally scares me, but perhaps I will get there one day!Sarah Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917869832071605787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358332193199604629.post-43867509086933964382011-02-21T05:32:41.695-06:002011-02-21T05:32:41.695-06:00can we just trade our motivations? cause that woul...can we just trade our motivations? cause that would be great. <br />okay question. how do you get yourself out there in the cold? i do fine with the running during spring summer and fall, but come winter and there's no way you could drag me out there. the weather is always anywhere from -20 to -40 (-5 to -40 in F) so tips on how to cope that would be most excellent.oonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03881800169219196471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358332193199604629.post-19439377856549115722011-02-20T23:10:38.546-06:002011-02-20T23:10:38.546-06:00Yes so glad you got around to writing the running ...Yes so glad you got around to writing the running post! It's awesome that you have a built in running buddy with Matt. Even if you don't run together you know that both of you are getting out there and continuing to take care of your bodies (ehem). It's all very good. And I would be lying if I didn't say that I thought of you on all my recent runs.

He started running to blow off steam in his early 20s, and ran a couple of marathons when I was a little kid, but mostly stuck to trail runs. He was diagnosed with tertiary Non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2008, and, while undergoing chemo, joined Team In Training. Since then, he's gone into complete remission. He's also ran two marathons in one month, two half-marathons and one full marathon in a month, raised about 20,000 dollars for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. He goes on these epically long runs every weekend. He really inspires me! You runners are really somethin' else :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329920400057382801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358332193199604629.post-26420165010352214782011-02-20T19:07:54.477-06:002011-02-20T19:07:54.477-06:00I'm always amazed when you talk about your run...I'm always amazed when you talk about your running!

I'm more of a jog for twenty minutes and then do a bundle of 100 meter sprints type girl (I LOVE to sprint...and I'm pretty fast if I do say so myself).<br /><br />But I am SO IMPRESSED by anyone who runs distance.

I'm now up to 4.5 miles and I think I should sign up for a race to keep the momentum and motivation going. No marathons for me, but maybe a 5 or 10K. <br />Here's a question: My feet and shins hurt after running (right now I'm on a treadmill in my basement), any suggestions to prevent this?Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578293396624276562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358332193199604629.post-56257834415335271152011-02-18T14:00:35.976-06:002011-02-18T14:00:35.976-06:00I have to say you were one of my inspirations to f...I have to say you were one of my inspirations to finally run a real race after being a casual runner for years. I did a half in November in 1:49 and it was the best summer of my life training. My mind was clear, my body was toned, it was simply amazing. I am since pregnant and due in September but I plan to do a full marathon sometime next year when I am ready. Thanks for the post I hope it inspires people as much as you have inspired me!
