I have only been running about 6 months, and I'm still learning. I started with the C25K program and am now doing the intermediate running plan on runninginjuryfree. My mom's a my-lifetime runner (she started running to lose the baby-fat after she had me), but I really never thought I could do it. Even though I'm a lifelong dancer and yoga teacher for the past 13 years, 3 years of graduate school in my 30s had my body 'falling apart.' I had gained a lot of weight and was pretty miserable, but tied to the couch by my heavy reading and writing schedule. One night I had a dream I was running, and I woke up the next morning believing I could do it. I started in bits and fits, just running randomly in the middle of afternoon walks, but it was pretty pathetic. It didn't really start to work until more than a year later when I finally found and stuck to the C25K plan. Now I'm in love. And the only thing I like better than running at the moment is reading running blogs! Thanks for the ongoing inspiration. Only wish you were also posting on OvenstoBetsy!!

However, you came up with a well-thought-out training plan, executed it, and then kicked butt on race day. Well done! I would have called you crazy, that’s for sure.

In fact, my 3:55:41 time from this weekend also qualifies me for the Exeter Marathon in Rhode Island, which is held two days before Boston. It's qualifying times are 5 minutes stricter! (But they too give 59 seconds leeway). My hubby (#1078) is qualified for Boston as well, but not for Exeter. Now the pressure is on him as I'd like to run both.

Yepp I'll most definitely be at Boston. Seattle was my 3rd BQ this year! I can hardly believe it. Boston will actually be my 50th state so I'm super pumped! It was great to meet you and all the maniacs at the start and through the race. What a great group, huh?? I've never been in a race with so many-- it was definitely what pushed me. See you in Boston??? -Stephanie #1566 Hey Betsy! Yepp I’ll most definitely be at Boston. Seattle was my 3rd BQ this year! I can hardly believe it.
