Thanks Megan! This is such a great blog for the family page. And one that I am sure speaks to a lot of active parents. And the pictures are great! I'm glad to see that you are still making (or scraping together) time for yourself, and that you are still running. It's a challenge even for people that don't have three kids--I can't even imagine. Good luck with your long run this weekend and getting to Applefest. A fall race sounds like so much fun!

Hi Manti,

Good to hear from you. It's great that your wife is getting back into it. But it is oh-so-hard to start all over from scratch. I admire her courage.

I hope to be at Applefest, but I'm really doubting whether I'm prepared enough. I missed my long run this weekend....just too tired (middle child has been up every night this week). I used my free-time-for-mom to sleep instead of run. After my long run next weekend, I'll decide if I can handle a half-marathon.

If I don't see you, good luck!

Hey Megan... glad to see you out there still running. Hope to see you at Applefest... My wife has taken up running again now that our youngest is weined and we are registered to run the Applefest relay together. She is is facing many of the same challenges of finding time to run while caring for and shuttling four kids about, but she is coming along well and will do great come race day. See you there (the applecrisp is to die for!)

Thanks Belle. I guess I underestimated the fact the the whole course was downhill - except for a little uphill blip at mile two. I will definitely do that race again next year.

Congratulations to you too, on your Tri. I missed your blog post back in May and just looked it up this week. I agree with you on the cost of gear. Everytime I think about the possiblity of Tris in my future, I just see dollar signs.

Good luck to you. Thanks for dropping in on my blog. Your encouragement kept me going a couple different times over the last six months.

All best,

Megan

CONGRATULATIONS!! That is awesome. Wasn't it just a few posts ago that you said you probably wouldn't be able to run in 25 minutes. Look at you now! That is so great. Thanks for all the great blogs--they really help to keep me motivated in my own pursuits!

Thanks Melissa. I think I'll keep blogging my weekly report. Somehow, sending my weekly progress report into the depths of cyberspace helps hold me accountable for getting the miles in.

BTW, thanks for cheering.

sorry -- posted too early..... You are fast AND you look great! Keep up the good work! Feel free to continue blogging if you mind it motivating -- your cheerleaders aren't going anywhere.

After the race you won't have me coaching you online, but I'd be happy to keep coaching you. I coach a couple of other runners via email, plus as you said I'll be at the track workouts starting in July. As long as you want help, I'll be available.....
