GO YOU! I really want to get into running, it's just so haaaarrrdd (insert whine here). I do love spinning though- maybe I should ge ta bike. :)

Ugh- I was SO sad to see Deena Kastor drop out- she was our fave. Have you seen "Spirit of the Marathon?" It's AWESOME!

You rock- keep going!

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I've been slacking. Thanks for the kudos on the running. I totally am having Olympic withdrawals. It was so much easier exercising while watching the Games.

Thanks hon. Crew is awesome. I would probably kill myself now if I tried it. I used to row before I had my two back surgeries, so I am sure that it wouldn't be so good for me now.

Hey Candy. I learned how to run when I did Crew in college. Always hated it before that. I alwys say that it is important to do what you love to do for exercise. Gotta love something that makes you sweat.

I think Rowin is awesome, it looks sooo hard!

Hey Jen. Gosh, I have soooo many questions for you regarding running. Just can't remember them right now. They usually come to me when I am on the treadmill, and I always think of you first. I might have to pick your brain later if I can remember them (old age sucks a$$!).
