Setting goals keeps me moving forward. :)Amy G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11811216920141401233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011806481042483834.post-82879451774950537142016-10-16T11:13:12.957-07:002016-10-16T11:13:12.957-07:00Yes, I absolutely do support you and applaud your ...Yes, I absolutely do support you and applaud your goals for such achievements. If you nail it all - that's amazing! If you nail some of it - that's amazing, too! If you completely change goals - still amazing! I support you whatever happens and wish you all the success, and health, and vibrancy of life. xoWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115761289088772657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011806481042483834.post-27179795910176899042016-10-14T10:51:25.228-07:002016-10-14T10:51:25.228-07:00Ha!

I have been running now for almost two years and have learned a lot, so trust me, I am aware of the potential pitfalls. But I have a very supportive group of runners behind who have been coaches, mentors, cheerleaders, and friends. Trust me, I know to go slow – my training plan is very stretched out – and I know what I am capable of at this particular size. So again, thank you for the support and comments! I am being careful! xoxo<br />Amy G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11811216920141401233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011806481042483834.post-37182816837457558312016-10-14T08:28:33.681-07:002016-10-14T08:28:33.681-07:00I haven't yet figured out the way to write sup...I haven't yet figured out the way to write supportive comments to you, which I very much want to do, when a post is about running and here - eek! - about running a marathon, just because I personally have real reservations about that sport. But - I support you! Just please be aware that injury rates are super high, especially among those of us in larger bodies, and running a marathon causes actual heart damage (that's true in bodies of all sizes and even those in top physical condition). Honoring one's body can be tough to figure out, but I am trying hard to tune in to mine and listen to its limits - while also pushing it, gently, which is also good, within reason. I know you do, too, I just can't help myself, I guess. I still support you and admire your effort. <br />Great pic and it looks like a great day for a hike! <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
