It's funny. Sometimes if I share with someone that I'm running a half marathon, they'll say, "Wow--that's crazy!"
Maybe so. But if I'm crazy, I'm crazy with a whole bunch of other people. Thousands of people. Hundreds of thousands of people. There's something to this "running thing," folks.

In celebration of our weekend, I wanted to put the last of the Marathon Collection on sale for a special buy. This is the last of it, my dear running friends. It's a cool collection and will be gone soon, especially at this
Are you a runner? Are you a walker? Are you a runner wanna-be? I got started many years ago with this nifty "couch potato to 5-K program". I was the girl who said, "Oh, I don't run. I'll start running when I start seeing other runners smiling." Well, I can tell you that I smiled for almost 13.1 miles straight on Sunday. Thank you, GB Half Marathon organizers and volunteers for a great race day!

Did you really start with C25K? I've just started that myself. My goal is much more modest - I just want to complete a Disney 5K. Thanks for being such a great inspiration on so many fronts.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's exactly right! I think it was about 7 years ago. And, maybe 30 pounds ago? :) It's a great program. All the best to you on reaching your goal!
DeleteCongratulations, Tricia, such an admirable feat! And congrats also to all of you reading this who get out there and DO something!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Tricia, you are my inspiration! <3
ReplyDeleteWonderful achievement, Tricia! I just run in the gym (which I believed i would never be able to do!), who know what I do in the future!
ReplyDeleteWay To Go!!!
