Great cause, but I was not, I repeat, was not ready for that step. What resulted was the pain you talked about and no distance race for many years. I ran shorter ones. I'm now back to longer ones, but the whole process could have been more fun. Good for you! Enjoy your "ride."

You are so inspiring with everything you've accomplished and your emailing friend is right. You've gotta take the time to heal. You have your whole life. I know I'm young, healthy and not injured (knock on wood) and even I find it hard to read some blogs where it's race after race and pr after pr but taking it at your own pace is important. I always try to think about why I run and what it would be like if I couldn't. You are a remarkable woman, person and I think that a full marathon is on your path but maybe just not right now.

The pace of gaining fitness is insanely slow and you do tend to get caught up in things like "Hey, he once was a slow fat guy and now he's an Ironman - maybe I could do that!" But the reality is that I was insanely sore after accidentally running 8.4 mi last week so 26.2 isn't in the cards yet. All in good time. And if not, then all in good FUN (with your kids)!!
