I am LUCKY to not deal with illness on a regular basis!<br /><br />I was reading through your marathon history and I am just so impressed with where you are now compared to where you started.

That's my toughest race to date.<br /><br />From you banner, I see you were at the trials earlier in the month. I just did an interview with one of the runners on my blog.<br /><br />Finally, speaking of my blog, I've added you to a Running Blog Database I'm working on. If you see its potiential, maybe you could put a link to it on you blog.

And you and your super impressive 5K running - keep at it. <br /><br />As for backing off when you feel illness - now that is a WISE move. We all have to fail at that a few times before we realise it truly is the best thing to do. You are going to do fine even with missing a few days.Petrarunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223283092182797048noreply@blogger.com
