20 miles!

Hey, gang. We walked/ran 20 miles this weekend. I was o****il about mile 16, then I pooped out. I managed to finish, limping to the end. They keep promising us we'll be ready by October 12. Lord, I sure hope so. Anyway, that's a Wow moment for me. Just wanted to share. Hope everybody is doing ok today. Marcia

Just thinking about it makes me poop out! You're amazing Shar

wow that is amazing..i bet u just sweat off the lbs I am not a runner nor pretend I can run LOL..Pool is for me All my training is on hold tell my daughter can walk again.. I am her cheerleader to walk and talk to her best ability. Lisa

Lisa, you don't need to worry about anything except helping your daughter get well. I hope she's doing ok - the fact that she's still with us says a lot! Actually, I sweat off sweat, but my weight hasn't changed, although my legs are getting skinnier (and more wrinkled!). gotta be muscle, although I'll admit I'm eating more than I used to (not all at once - my pouch still restricts what I can eat in a sitting), which is probably why I'm staying the same. I don't care, though. Don't need to lose anymore anyway. Marcia

Hey Marcia, I don't post here a lot (OH in general) anymore, but thought I'd ask. Are you running Chicago? I am. I am horrifically unprepared though so good for you for working on it. I'll be running with the 6 hour pace team. My only goal is to finish. Good luck!

Awesome! It's going to take me six hours to finish, so I'll be way behind you. I'm not a very fast runner. My only goal is to finish, too, but it will take me a lot longer. That's ok. I'll look forward to seeing you. Marcia

Dang Marcia, could you have imagined walking ONE mile 16 months ago? not me!! congrats on all your hard work - you can do it!! Inky

Heck no! I can now even touch my toes without bending my knees and without rupturing something. We're talking miracles of Biblical proportions, in my opinion. Marcia
