In reply to Kristin. I COMPLETELY quit after my marathon, so I get it. I really, really get it! It's good to be back. Let's pick a race (a 10K maybe?!) and sign up!

The Jess is my weakness. Well, tacos are my weakness, but the Jess is my favorite!

Thanks for the kind words. It was an awesome race. Now to work on making the next one a speedier race… 😉

In reply to Kelly.

I thought of you at mile 11 (and I needed it, because mile 11 SUCKED) – thank you so much, Kelly!!

Hope you’re feeling better today.

In reply to Nobody. I like the solitude, too. And I'm impressed at your motivation to kick your anxiety to the curb - easier said than done, I know. You rock!

In reply to Jackie. I admire that you can do the treadmill! I'm an outdoor girl, all the way. But I can do the elliptical in a pinch, especially if there's good TV on. ;-)

I’m not much of a runner really but I’m trying to get into it more! I do like the treadmill and elliptical at the gym a lot and feel so much better when I’ve spent some quality time on them. Running outside… well that’s just not possible yet here in Michigan.

I run, because I need the solitude. I take martial arts classes (Kenpo, specifically) because I need the social interaction. One of my weaknesses is my social anxiety and personal boundary issues (as in, I don’t like people getting too close) so what better way to get the F over it then take a martial arts? I think the key to staying happy and growing as a person is constantly pushing the boundaries of what you think you can do.

Oh, Missy!! You will do AWESOME!!!
When you get to mile 11 (because you WILL), hear me in your head saying
“You GOT This!”
When you cross the finish (Because you WILL), grab a chocolate muscle milk and a doughnut and say cheers.
Then give that shiny new bling that is draped around your neck a big wet kiss!
