I ran 6.4 miles in the Sea Fair relay marathon last July 2007. My tread mill died on me and I used that as my excuse not to continue to train along with a lot of other excuses to simply not work out. Too quickly you lose your endurance and it's so hard to start all over. I'm glad I happened to read your blog. It has given me a new hope and motivation to start training again.<BR/>I love what you wrote about being beautiful. Too many times I've allowed the worldly ways and others words to discourage me. I believe God looks at me and thinks I'm Beautiful. I hope you have a Lovely vacation. May God you Bless you and inspire you with your writing. <BR/>TracyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-89761657314820521982008-06-11T09:08:00.000-04:002008-06-11T09:08:00.000-04:00Hi Melissa,How are you doing?

We usually try to walk together, which makes it more fun.<BR/><BR/>Just wanted you to know that I will be praying for you as you prepare for She Speaks. Sure wish I could be there too.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>PearlsJodie Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734191097693490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-54666825423210818612008-06-04T14:28:00.000-04:002008-06-04T14:28:00.000-04:00Hi Melissa,On my local christian radio station the...Hi Melissa,<BR/>On my local christian radio station the had a lady talking about running a half marathon. If you go to www.wbcl.org and go to the side bar that says Mid-Morning and then go to the Mid-Morning home page there is a link for training for a half marathon. Also Weight Watchers has a how to walk a half marathon for anyone who would likt to train for that. It's great that you have set this goal and challenged the rest of us also. <BR/><BR/>Deb - OhioDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03069975801025176656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-82111451032241125172008-06-04T13:18:00.000-04:002008-06-04T13:18:00.000-04:00That is awesome!

I miss that so much. I have really thinking about handbiking. But they are so expensive. I hope to work up to two hours of stationary handbike before I buy one. This has my mind stirred. Thanks for the inspiration. Good luck.<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>DianeChef Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364679764455626661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-7179490277985909852008-06-03T22:46:00.000-04:002008-06-03T22:46:00.000-04:00WAY TO GO MELISSA!!!

I get weighed every Friday, and it's going well. It's funny how knowing we're going to be with 499 other women can inspire us to greatness. (I think the truthful term might be more 'comparison trap' or 'vanity' but I prefer to see it as 'greatness'!)<BR/><BR/>Having attended "She Speaks" before, I honestly don't know how you can fit anything else into your day...we're already running!!!<BR/><BR/>Love & prayers,<BR/>JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-6131765853981618612008-06-03T21:54:00.000-04:002008-06-03T21:54:00.000-04:00Thanks y'all.
