and the very ugly.
But...(sigh)...here I am twelve weeks into the training, four weeks away from the race,
with not a single blog to show for myself.
So, here is a little run down of the last twelve weeks of my life (running related only).
It's a little lengthy, but hopefully it will bring a smile to your face.
Especially if you have ever trained for any type of race.
Oh that run felt really good…Muscles feel good, warm, strong…Whew...

this is so amazing. "yikes...chaffing!" there is truly nothing worse than chaffing, i myself can attest to that. i'm so proud of you steph, i run one mile and become limp as a noodle. i hope to be like you one day. so fit. so fab.
and i'm so glad i pleased you the most with my completion of breaking dawn. it has changed my life for the better. "today we're going to learn a lesson on true love...everyone turn to page 219 of breaking dawn" LOL
Well put, that is why one is enough for me. I think I am going to start doing some 10ks and halfs. I still have to beat my friend Willie's time of 1 hr 50 min.
Even after reading that I am a little jealous. Some day we will run another one together again and we'll both enjoy it more than ever! I can't wait.
You're awesome to do one on your own. I don't know that I would have the discipline.
IT"S ABOUT TIME you updated your blog! You look pretty amazing in those pics for just having run 17 miles. I would be on the floor, dead.
You amaze me! I can't even imagine running 5 miles let alone 17!!! Good luck with all that running!
You are superwoman!
Here is a voice from your past. The other day I was cleaning and found a key to your 2004 Suzuki. It was on top of the cupboard above the phone jack. I have it if you still want it. How are you all doing? I admire you for all the running you are doing. Way to go girl.
