I too have a desire to run and am not athletic. Good luck with your training and thanks for this great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409719195130989734.post-58038495273662146512008-04-13T05:25:00.000-07:002008-04-13T05:25:00.000-07:00Way to go Denise!I'm with you----I'm back to runni...Way to go Denise!<BR/><BR/>I'm with you----I'm back to running again. (up to a half mile right now) Starting is soooo hard. And since I'm not a runner, all I think about is how much I hate running while I am running but then I feel so good afterwards like I accomplished something! :)<BR/><BR/>I agree with the SAHM thing! I get that way too and it's even more so since I am in a foreign country with Japanese who mostly cannot speak English. I must come across desperate when I see American people and talk 200 MPH!!<BR/><BR/>By the way, look me up on Facebook. Jennifer Jones-Partin. :)<BR/><BR/>Maybe, just maybe you can come do Tokyo marathon with me! :) That's 23.6 miles----one day I really want to run one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409719195130989734.post-43834734011303086762008-04-12T20:12:00.000-07:002008-04-12T20:12:00.000-07:00that is so funny, denise! i just started running ...that is so funny, denise! i just started running a couple weeks ago! guess we'll be sore together!lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01427686196942704352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409719195130989734.post-6228697194028270622008-04-12T19:57:00.000-07:002008-04-12T19:57:00.000-07:00Good for you on the running.

Maybe I can say that because I don't have a partner to help me.<BR/><BR/>You'll find a rhythm with the blogging thing eventually. It is a tough balance.Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226805581685877036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409719195130989734.post-91807944618746046582008-04-12T18:16:00.000-07:002008-04-12T18:16:00.000-07:00Hey..welcome back friend!!

How could you not? I'm pretty sure they have jet propulsion. :) <BR/><BR/>I am thinking of training to walk a fundraiser event for the non-prof my husband works for. My back can't handle running, but walking the distance would be an achievement for me.Linda Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12738531888976872731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409719195130989734.post-79016838858834216622008-04-11T16:56:00.000-07:002008-04-11T16:56:00.000-07:00Way to go, Denise!

Woo hoo!!!! <BR/><BR/>And then run a 5 or 10 k down here and I will join you!Sarah Markleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15745807641579275163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409719195130989734.post-15868324683637216382008-04-11T11:02:00.000-07:002008-04-11T11:02:00.000-07:00Welcome back friend - I have missed you!I, too, ru...Welcome back friend - I have missed you!<BR/><BR/>I, too, run to email, blogging, etc.. as my connection and lifeline to others. It is an easy way for me to have connections with other women/mothers. <BR/><BR/>Yeah for you starting to run! I am SOOO not athletic either. It is the great thing about running, anyone can do it. I don't know that I have any advice except that I am proud of you for taking it on! It will be so helpful to have others with you. I think that is a bonus - if you don't feel like getting out there you have friends encouraging you to go. <BR/><BR/>Your new running shoes - so cute!!!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310435646127999845noreply@blogger.com
