YAY!! all I have to say about the marathon... at least you are trying. better to have tried and not been perfect then to have never tried at all. let's face it... if you even try, plus the money you've raised, there is no way you can fail. love your spirit... keep pressing on!LoveLladrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978797008813692988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-31861892180964977902009-03-26T23:03:00.000-05:002009-03-26T23:03:00.000-05:00Have you ever read doctormama.blogspot.com?

There is also some special ways to lace your shoes that can help with this. <BR/><BR/>But having run a marathon myself...I would have to say it wasn't really that empowering and self-fulfilling. So don't sweat it. :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279160778173771047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-10020462702081285362009-03-26T12:28:00.000-05:002009-03-26T12:28:00.000-05:00I say you do what you can in the run.

For some reason reading about your struggles makes me KNOW you are going to actually going to do this marathon, crazy as I and your mother think you are.<BR/><BR/>I did something towards my goals: <BR/><BR/>I signed up to play women's outdoor soccer. Which I haven't played since high school. And now I'm scared out of my mind since I'm playing with people who have played for the last ten years or more. It starts in 5 weeks. Enough time to actually train a little...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the inspiration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-52496285108570245742009-03-26T11:32:00.000-05:002009-03-26T11:32:00.000-05:00It may make you feel better to know that compared ...It may make you feel better to know that compared to me your are a world-class athlete:) Of course a rock looks world-class compared to me. <BR/><BR/>My co-worker told me that there's a really cool pregnancy workout on her "on demand" cable that she could record for me.

But this last time I bought a pair of Adidas running shoes, because they were cute. My feet fall asleep all the time now, which never happens with the Asics. Even when I'm not running they fall asleep at my desk. <BR/><BR/>All that to say, you're making me wonder if the shape of my new shoes is doing something to make my feet fall asleep. And could that be your issue as well?AWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07976537861843058177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-72327976691991740912009-03-26T09:44:00.000-05:002009-03-26T09:44:00.000-05:00I'm finally getting used to sticking to the WW pla...I'm finally getting used to sticking to the WW plan I started oh...a month ago. I went to the Y last night and KICKED ASS on the eliptical. I thought I was working hard before but this time I was about five seconds from puking when I finished and I'm sore today. So I feel pretty good right now!Just Vegashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09851077598314983920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-39492594017156056972009-03-26T09:16:00.000-05:002009-03-26T09:16:00.000-05:00It's ok to take a break from training.

If that is enough, push through and get training again!

Only ran 11 miles last Saturday and walked some of it! A few weeks ago I ran 10 miles w/OUT stopping...then I bought NEW shoes..... I was so good back then... NOW I am backstroking. New shoes? What was I thinking? <BR/> <BR/>I've been eating every type of chocolate in sight! Lucky for my kids.... they are made up of salt and water!" <BR/> <BR/>Last night, I set my alarm to get up really early around 5 am and workout... it came... and I went.......... BACK TO SLEEP!" <BR/><BR/>It was raining..... Who gets up when it's raining?? Forecast predicts rain for the next 5 days! Rain goes good w/chocolate and diet coke. ;-) <BR/> <BR/>I will get it together... at the Next run... w/the group... which is this Saturday.....uh oh......... prediction of thunderstorms... <BR/><BR/>Think I need a Diet Coke and about 10 Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs. <BR/><BR/>What's Rosie's number? <BR/><BR/>Love, Marg. ;-) <BR/><BR/>PS I just found about "sleeping feet". Buy shoes that are a 1/2 size or a whole size bigger than what you usually wear. Also buy your shoes after you've gone for your workout. Your feet swell.
