Just wanted to let you know I think that it was a fairly difficult course and you handled that jerk with more grace than I would have. Great job on finishing anyway. Hope you still got your medal at the end!

You are doing so much more with your life than most people can say. Be proud. I hope you're doing well. I'm sorry I haven't been here in awhile. Rest assured though, I do read all of your posts. :)Alisahttp://effthisdiet.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475008149829444094.post-49461943631815189012011-03-16T20:05:49.797-07:002011-03-16T20:05:49.797-07:00Get a Calcium-Magnesium-Zinc supplement.

That is soooo far,and so amazing. Do you remember the Walk For Mankind? Do you remember how many people the Weary Walker Wagons had to pick up, because they couldn't WALK 12 miles??!! I hope you can hear my full blown, "THAT'S MY SISTER!!!", from here...and I know if mom was here she would do that weird laugh, cry, thing that would make her face crazy dark red and her eyes wet and bright, that she only did whenever she was amazed and immensely proud of one of us. And remember too, that men with teeny penises are always the biggest dicks of the world. Love ya, CorkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475008149829444094.post-71764858714315226032011-03-11T12:31:53.836-08:002011-03-11T12:31:53.836-08:00I can feel your pain to some extent.

It took a few miles for me to block that out, obviously I haven't forgotten it though. People are rude and then some. You gotta wonder just what the reasoning was behind having to yell something like that. In what way are you impacting his life? Hugs to you girl. You are better then him, and you will win in the end. You will find your way.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15944445755726396280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475008149829444094.post-61599881986456923312011-03-11T12:31:06.602-08:002011-03-11T12:31:06.602-08:00Cara - you rock.

The kid probably felt intimidated because he looses his breath just walking to his car to get another fast food fix. You've done more in the past year than he's probably even thought about attempting.<br /><br />For the running - if focusing on the running is tearing you down, don't focus on it. Train for a Tri, or swim meet, etc. You don't have to do the marathon now, that is your own pressure and no one will think less of you if you redirect for a bit. To be healthy, you also need to be happy with what you are doing and with yourself; make that your focus instead.<br /><br />For dealing with the leg and foot issues, take it easy and once the acute swelling/injury flare up goes away; please give Josh at Tri-massage in Boulder a call and schedule an MRT with him. He knows his stuff and can help out a lot to deal with the issues and find a way to prevent them as well.Ben S.http://faster-daddy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475008149829444094.post-16067500593649787352011-03-11T11:51:06.120-08:002011-03-11T11:51:06.120-08:00Wow, that is a horrible thing to do to someone, I ...Wow, that is a horrible thing to do to someone, I don't know what to really say... It's really telling that you still finished with all that happened, think about the strength in that... <br /><br />Overall, it looks to me like a rough test of your dedication and you passed.

I am so sorry that you had to put up with that ass. You are *awesome*. Like seriously. You. Rock. Don't let some guy like that take the wind out of your sails. You crossed that finish line and showed real character.

I just want to shake that guy and tell him off until he is ashamed of himself like he should be. I would have had the exact same reaction as you, in fact I think you did better than I might have. I'm so proud of you for making it to the end. Anyone who knows you, in real life or via blogging/FB/etc, knows how hard you have been working and how amazing you are. Sometimes the bad guys wins a little, but I know you'll win big in the end.

I am sorry but I am going to kick their ass! That is just rude, disprespectful and so many other things. Girlfriend, I love you. I don't really know you that well but you bring sunshine to my day through your posts here on your blog and on facebook. I am very sad that you are not feeling well right now. And you don't deserve to be disrespected like that. That is just Bullshit! <br /><br />I have been were you are. I have had fights with my running because of injuries and it has caused me to doubt my entire being. Don't let this happen to you. It is no fun! Go back to those things that make you happy. Swim, do the elliptical, ride your bike. The running will come. Trust me, I know this to be true. And if you need some company look me up. I would love to hang with ya!Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335001280807576664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475008149829444094.post-58144156622877989692011-03-11T09:42:04.009-08:002011-03-11T09:42:04.009-08:00I don't know you, nor you know me.

I have so many fowl words I would like to spew right now, but won't out of pure respect for you. <br />Remember those that can't or won't will be the biggest critics of all. They have nothing else but there lack there of and insecurity. <br />Don't look at it as "your lost". It's just another fork that you have to choose a direction at. Sometimes the direction we choose have inclines, and sometimes there on downhills. The bottom line it's your path ! You are awesome. You just completed another 1/2 marathon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
