I am impressed you ran with your foot gushing blood and by the fact you didn't faint, even after losing that entire pint. The proof is in the shoe.<br /><br />Second, although I have been training to do just this, a half marathon, I am leaving this area a week before the actual race. Since I ran 10 miles last Friday, I know I can do it, but the actual race would be an emotional tide.<br /><br />You have a great playlist. Running in silence is for masochists. And oooh, a bowl of frosted minis before a half marathon? Yeah, I can feel you.Merileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16070855577906855619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755516.post-54681293527089308292009-06-10T09:23:40.743-04:002009-06-10T09:23:40.743-04:00Awesome Heidi!Awesome Heidi!Barry & Margo Swartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398610917193822507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755516.post-33661141092974499252009-06-09T16:58:05.277-04:002009-06-09T16:58:05.277-04:00Not a runner?

I think running under 10 minute miles for 13.1 PLUS the bloody socks and shoes qualifies you to say you are a runner (I am so not there yet). I am so impressed and inspired by you that after this baby I may start training for a half. <br /><br />I completely agree that running is a mental thing and people who run without music are insane. Way to tap into this potential you have inside and set an example for all of us.

When I trained for the marathon relay I got 3 blood blisters on the tips of my toes, but luckily they calloused up before the race (sorry if that's TMI) I admire you.

Promise me that you won't be pregnant next year because I DEFINITELY won't be and I can finally run it with you! You are amazing and an inspiration to me. And by the way, who just runs a 2:10 on her very first half marathon...especially when she claims that she just isn't a runner? I think you need to change your definition of "runner" because clearly you are one!!

I shudder to imagine.<br /><br />One time I got home from an 8-mile run and found the toes of my left shoe completely dripping with blood. Upon further investigation, I found that, because of my lack of hygeine, a razor-sharp corner of my big toenail had been digging into the flesh of my second toe every time I stepped down. Who knew that so much blood can come from one tiny little digit?<br /><br />Anyway. I'm so very happy for you.Juliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274666431987775075noreply@blogger.com
