I just looked up Steamtown; it looks pretty! And, you'll be well ready, if you are already running 18-and 19'ers!

Too funny, isn't it fun being a woman? October for me, too! Steamtown's the one. What are you looking at doing? And thanks about the long runs, I'd recently discovered the Wissahickon Trails and was in love with the discovery (still have so much more to explore!). But it's 5 miles away, so the there-and-back eats up 10. I didn't want to stop but knew I'd be screwed if I waited to long to turn around. Lol!! Too funny, isn’t it fun being a woman?

Ran 11 miles; sobbed during the cool down. Finished the half marathon faster than I thought I would? You guessed it--another crying jag. I'm almost afraid to do a marathon; I'll probably have to be committed! :D Oh, and I forgot to add: I think we share the “crybaby” feature–I beat my PR for a 5K and had a mini-breakdown.

You are an awesome woman! Isn't it a great adventure? In the beginning, it seems insurmountable, and then we get stronger. As we get stronger, more determined. As we become more determined, we get stronger, and round and round it goes. When is your marathon? I'm thinking October 08 for my first....(keeping fingers crossed and eyeing training plan)! 18 and 19 miles? You are an awesome woman! Isn’t it a great adventure?
