Hey Mauricio, I got the ladies version of the Newtons. Just wait until you get those broken in. They work like magic and you will feel like you are lighter than air every step you take. You get a nice push forward. I think you will like them. Some a…

I blog with my high school girls cross country team that I coach. We have our own site. It gives us an opportunity to communicate over the summer and during the off season. During the season it slows down a little since I see them every day, but it…

- About Me
- I grew up running. Participated in all sorts of sports, but always found myself enjoying the world of running. I love it so much that I also became a running coach. But after being diagnosed with 2 types of Arthritis, I thought my running world was gone. I fought back w/ everything that I had and I still fight day-to-day challenges. I was bed ridden for a short time when my arthritis spread like wild fire. I never gave up. Doctors, tests, and the courage to fight, I have been back on my feet for over the past 5 years running again.

- Yes, it was my first run (other than a few 5Ks) so I was happy with it. That is really too bad about your arthritis but hopefully you can get it back under control. My mom has had RA for 50 years so I somewhat know what you are dealing with when there are flareups, etc. Be proud of yourself for doing the race and hanging in there! I'm not sure about the coast-to-coast. I would like to but it would all depend on finding a reasonable plane ticket and a potential job change that might pan out in my near future. I was thinking that I might do the coast-to-coast challenge in 2010 since I'll be at the Princess run again next year. Actually I'm planning the Princess run for every year since I ran it at its' inauguration this year.

- Congrats on finishing the "Princess" this past weekend but sorry you had to put up with a cold! I was there too and had a lot of fun running! It was definitely a "sea of women" (like Kyle said) and there were definitely some crazy outfits. I'm planning to go next year again. I about froze off my fingertips waiting for the race to start. Will wear a trash bag or heat blanket next time...good lesson learned for my first long run. Did you go in the Race Retreat tent? I thought the tent was well worth the cost. We kept warm, had good food, and got a free massage afterwards.

- congrats on your princess finish!!! Way to go!!
I ran in Fort Myers last week "Hooters to Hooters". my second half marathon. I had a good run, the humidity bothered me and the bridge was a killer..over and then turn around and run back over it...I lost time and energy. Overall I was very happy with my time 2:29, but what made me really happy was my recovery....I felt great and it did not wipe me out for a few days like the first 1/2 marathon did 3 weeks before. How are you feeling? I hope you are able to enjoy the res of your vacation!!

Kevin Green said… - Lisa - Congrats on finishing in less-than-ideal conditions...a lot of people would have opted for the DNF, but you kept moving forward and finished! And, you had fun at the same time. That's what "Just Finish" is all about!
Take care of yourself and get better! Oh, and upload some pictures when you get a chance. :-)
