Hi everyone,
It has been a while since I've posted something, so here goes. We'll have to catch up. Two weekends ago I ran my first 20 miles as painful as it was I was very proud of myself especially because I sprinted the last mile. I am going to Chicago with confidence but not arrogance. 26 miles can really make a person humble. So I am proceeding with caution. Last week I started cutting back on the long runs and ran 16 miles. Yesterday, I ran 5.5 miles. It is amazing how now 5 or 6 or even 7 miles is a piece of cake. My goal for this week is to run 5 miles three days and on Saturday maybe 6 0r 7 miles. I am going to the Orthopedic specialist just to check out my knees. I feel good and everyone says I look good but I'd like to lose another 10 pounds. I've lost 15 pounds already.
I have to say that running has become a passion and a love for me. I feel great out there with my I-pod and me. I am definitely going to stick with this. It won't be easy during the winter months but I have to stay motivated. I only pray that I can do this for a very long time.

That's great! Ideally, I'd love to lose about 80 lbs to bring me to the weight I was in high school. Gosh. Stating it that way really makes me feel huge!
Good luck!
