I am so impressed! I actually got a tiny teary eyed reading this and I don’t even know you! hahaha. My husband is training for his first right now. I have a sore knee, I want to run with him, but gotta take care of myself. Maybe next summer.

i so enjoy reading your blog….i’ve subscribed for awhile now but somehow missed this post til today. i knew you were a runner….but i found it completely inspiring that in the span of a year you went from 5K-er to marathoner. i am somewhat of a beginning runner myself (well, been at it for about a year, about twice a week, btwn 3-5 miles, nothing hard-core) and i am signed up for my first half-marathon in june. i’m scared LOL i really enjoyed reading your play-by-play. it definitely left me with tears welling up. congrats to you!

My sister just told me to check out your marathon blog post. I am running my first full marathon this weekend, the Cowtown in Fort Worth, Texas. I ran 2 Halfs two years ago, the Orange County and the Cowtown, and remember thinking afterward, “Wow! I would never want to run a full marathon!” Then I had baby #4 last year and suddenly here I am, thinking a Half Marathon is such an easy distance. I enjoyed reading your blow-by-blow and definitely teared up a bit. Congratulations on an amazing accomplishment! I agree a support group really helps. I am running with my husband. Hopefully he won’t ditch me at the end. Cute skirts, as well. I tried my first running skirt a year ago and will never go back!
