I am still jealous! Thanks for the insight. I have ran up to 11 miles at most. But I think I will attempt the marathon when I am done having kids.

I can’t believe I have been following your blog for over a year now. I remember being so excited for you! Thanks for blogging!

You’re an amazing lady, Miss Zoot I remember being so very proud of you! It makes me want to at least take a shot at something like it. But it’s another of those things that goes on the “after I lose at least SOME of this weight” list.

I remember being jealous of you. I was training for a June marathon…and tore my ACL in March. You finished your marathon a few days before my knee surgery. I wished it was me out running that marathon!

But I’m back in the game – just did a 17-miler this last weekend. This is my year, baby!!

Zoot, I’ve gone back and read your entire “Operation Marathon” category so many times, I’ve lost count. You’re such an inspiration to me on that, and I’m on my way to counting myself as part of the “marathoner” group with you come December.

PS – I read about your first half marathon with the cold/wet/blisters situation, and that is exactly what I ended up dealing with for mine last month! I think we even got blisters at the same mile marker!

Running a marathon is on my list of things to do in my 30s. (There are 30 of them.)

I hate running, but I like a challenge.

I think the half marathon is my thing too-I’ve only done one, and I still can’t imagine doing the full marathon, especially because of the time commitment for the training that you described not to mention the whole running twice as many miles thing. Congratulations on accomplishing something so amazing!!

I say it is very impressive. I can’t believe the year went by so fast.

Runnning a marathon despite your finish is an accomplishment! I ran one marathon in my life and that is it. Some people are built to run upright for that distance, I am not.

Finishing a marathon is an awesome accomplishment, but when you are a mom, it is so much harder to squeeze in all those workouts, and especially those long runs. (We’ll see if I can make it through myself in a week).

Shari, I think you are going to completely rock your half marathon! Just start out slow and you will be fine!

Either way – just as attractive.

And both pretty impressive.
