You are welcomed to come around my way in Nov. Rock n Roll San Antonio will be my first half marathon on my 40th bday thanks to your 5k plan. I sure do miss your posts, but I totally understand. My own blog has languished for months, but I can see the sunshine coming out.

Hey Aubree, I almost forgot it was a 3 day weekend! Woo-Hoo! Yep, little sis is safe and sound, we had lunch today. I can’t wait to start training again, it’s time to focus on me.

JoAnne, thanks for your kind words, that is so true, we learned a lot from each other and about each other. I think it was a great growing experience. Thanks for commenting, I love to hear from you guys (well ladies, lol) because, I see the stats, but when you share your stories and experiences it makes it so much more real.

Thanks Valerie! That’s my motto, keep it moving. I will keep your voice in my ear. It’s time to get back to running.

Ms Carli,

An old friend once told me her philosophy regarding friendships that I always have kept in my thoughts….”Sometimes friends come and go. Maybe that person just needed you in their lives for those moments. Maybe you needed that person for those moments. Whatever the reason they entered your life, most likely you enriched their lives. Cherish the good times and let go.”

I want to remind you of all the good you have done…I read all the posts of the people you have helped and encouraged!! Me included! Know that even though we have never met, there are hundreds of women out here rooting for you, loving you, and believing in you. You are a fierce woman….strong, caring, and beautiful.

Peace be with you Carli!

Jo Anne, Seattle

Hi Carli-
I have to agree with what Val said. You were MY motivation, too, when I started running, cheering me on through the C25K plan with your podcasts. I can’t thank you enough for it! So I’m here to cheer for you as you put your running shoes back on and work toward November’s 5K. You CAN do it, Carli!!

Hey Carli, I’m sorry that you have gone through a tough time. You’ve suffered a loss and you allowed yourself to grieve, that’s good. That happens, life happens! All we can do is pick ourselves up, dust off our attitude and keep on keeping on! I’m glad to know you are at the dusting off stage and that you have plans to keep on keeping on!

You were my biggest (well only fan) when I began running! I had no running buddy but you. Your were in my ear, telling me how great I was doing and that I COULD make it that last bit when I wanted to crumple up on the sidewalk.

Let me now be a little voice in your ear saying, “You’ve got this girl, you CAN do it!”

Love and blessings and keep doing what you do, you are changing lives for sure!!

Val
