Share Your Motivation

NOTE:I apologize for the duplicate post, but I want to reach as many as possible
My sister Patty is my best friend. I remember as a kid, fighting with her like cats and dogs. My mother used to say we would always have each other. She was so right!



Patty has become intrigued by this running, run /walk, treadmill thing. She thought she might feel a little better if she had a daily exercise routine. A challenge she faces living in the north is that it's dark in the morning and dark before she leaves work. She got a mack treadmill and has been using it regularly for a few weeks.

I teed up the possibility of having her join me for the Women Run the World 15k in May. I have sent her a Couch to 5k program and a 15k training program. I think she can do it and she wants to do it. Yay!

I want to put together a goodie basket for her with some essentials, such as good socks, body glide, sport beans, and a book with motivation. Motivation from my friends.

This is where I need your help. Please leave me a comment or email me with some motivation to share with my sister. My goal is to get 365 pieces of advice (tell your friends) to put in a spiral-bound book. I will share the final result with every contributor.

Please include funny, serious, silly, scientific or whatever you like.

I want to show my sister as much support as I can. And I want her to see that everyone of us is behind her and are rooting for her!

2008 Group Marathon Shout Out!

Ok peeps, any chance we can all get together somewhere in the fall for a group marathon? I would be very interested. I could probably swing anywhere in the US, although I wouldn't want to do anyplace with really warm temps.

Some options might be:
Chicago - October
Des Moines - October
Denver - October
Washington DC - October
Twin Cities - October
San Fransisco - October
Philly - November
Las Vegas - December
Memphis - December
Kiawah Island - December

Thoughts?

It's Winter Time!

Hi everyone. Just checking in here. With my marathon behind me, I am thinking ahead. How is everyone occupying themselves this winter? I will do a 5K for fun on 12/15. And I am aiming to become more of a gym person. So what's your story?
