Just read in my journal (1999?)that you came back to work at the bakery like an answer to my prayers. Then you got a job and got pregnant and were off again. <br />Our granddaughter Bethany ran in the San Diego marathon last year and is going to do her second triathlon(1/2)in March. I feel lucky that I can walk 9 holes of golf.

When you are back to running after the wee babe makes its appearance, you should try a program like this one. You could definitely do it. If I can, anyone can.:)Michalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516535861628199093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881422116153646124.post-53605027505156271992011-02-20T14:56:24.491-08:002011-02-20T14:56:24.491-08:00From the running buddy who bombed on you...

I just think about the miles I need to get done each day and try to focus on that. 26.2 miles is daunting!

"Eight."<br />"Oh! Well if you can do eight, you can do a marathon!"<br />Maybe she misunderstood me. "No, just eight. Not 18."<br />"Yeah I know! A marathon? No problem!"<br /><br />So uh... I guess I'm just waiting so see which FULL marathon you're planning on running? :) lol<br /><br />You've totally got this. If you can run eight miles, what are five more?? Keep going!Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604512842392443861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881422116153646124.post-90260204575341354802011-02-19T17:29:18.520-08:002011-02-19T17:29:18.520-08:00You're a rock star!

I still follow and read your blog.
Good f...Michael,<br />I still follow and read your blog.<br />Good for you for running, and completing your 8 miles today. It's hard to run and easy to think of a hundred other and better things to do than run.<br />It's great you're doing it. I'm always so proud of people who run because I know how hard it is. Even when I see people who I don't know running on the road I always think, Oh, good for them.<br />So good for you, Michal and know that somewhere out there in the real world and blog land is another Renouf Girl cheering for you.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112499345298903375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881422116153646124.post-91599221057375435822011-02-19T16:42:31.082-08:002011-02-19T16:42:31.082-08:00YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

Is it weird to be so proud of a friend whom I haven't seen in years? But I am. I know how hard it is to even get out and go. And how hard it is to keep going. It is a total head game with yourself. But you did it! <br />(I was a running-hater myself. I still don't love running while I am doing it...but I really love how it makes me feel.)<br />P.S I love listening to conference while I run/walk/whatever, too. It's so uplifting!A mother hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15766853933459270549noreply@blogger.com
