the long story..

Thank you for all the wonderful comments about Terron's tri, he was so thrilled to read all the comments; you've all brightened his day! He's already planning his next triathlon, and has been talking about being able to do a tri 'with' me when he's 16! I love it!!

So, my banner pretty much gives you a summary. The short story, the what and why. What started my journey, what drives this blog and my posts, and why I've continued. I've celebrated two significant anniversaries this month here and here, but the full story can be read on Runner Dude's blog here, where he featured my story today. :)

While you're there, please share your stories about how "running has changed your life". It's been amazing to read all the amazing people out there, I've been inspired by all of their stories! He's doing another round, taking your submissions until October 17th! Go on, and inspire us -- even more than you already do! :)

Awww, 'tweren't nuthin'!

Both you and Terron should be proud!

Which officially makes you American because Excessive Pride is the only difference between Us and You.

That and how we pronounce "about" - the correct, AMERICAN way! (I.e., NOT "aboot".)

I agree it was fun to read your story again even though I've been following along for a little while. You are such an inspiration! Also - yay you and Terron for all the steps you've taken and for the way you motivate each other.

I never get tired of reading your story. It's always an awesome story. When I read your posts, I always think of what you've overcome. Even when you have obstacles that jump in front of you, you always seem to come out stronger. You are always an inspiration.

It is funny because I thought about emailing my story...but compared to your story it is nothing unique. Mom loses baby weight while running... Then I thought about it again.. We ALL can inspire in our own way.. So I will email him..
