My last marathon

[Josie]

I want to thank all the ladies that helped me with my beginners questions and rotations. I finished the San Diego Rock and Roll marathon on June 6th in 4 hours and 12 minutes. I have not done a marathon in the last 2 years due to injuries, but with your help and Cathe's tapes I felt great and look better than I have in a while, I will be 48 years old and a grandmother by the end of the year.

Thanks again ladies for all of your help.

Congratulations on your marathon! I keep thinking that one day I might like to run one, but I don't know how in the world someone can run so many miles. That is a big accomplishment!! Great job!!

Hi Kristi,

Thanks for the reply. You can do a marathon. There is a lot a programs tha will train you starting with one mile at a time. It will take you a good six months of training if it's you first one, but anyone can do it if you set your mind.

Congrats Josie!!! One of these years I want to do that one. I know what you mean about the injuries. I have been itching to run another marathon as my last one was Jan 2003. Getting over Achilles tendonitis and will try for the Malibu marathon in Dec. I agree Cathe's tapes really help. I'm 45 and feel great!......Carole

Just wanted to congratulate to you on your marathon. Now enjoy your well deserved rest!

Hi Carole,

I think that you and I talked about the Malibu Marathon before. I decided not to do that one because of the amount of hills. I will be doing the Orange County marathon instead, I'ts on the samed day as the Malibu and it will be in Newport Beach, you will still get the beautiful ocean views. Look under the OCmarathon.com for details.

Hi Josie....so you got me into this and now you are backing out???.. Completely teasing!! I have a few people that will do the Malibu one and I figure it might not be as hilly as Big Sur. We even have a place to stay in Venice. I am hoping the tendonitis is gone or I'll just do the half....good luck......Carole

Carole,

Let me know when you will be in town and maybe we can meet for some carboloading. I live near Venice Beach.
