In three attempts, I have never started or finished a marathon. These attempts included four sets of running shoes, more than 1,000 logged miles, $180 on registration fees, $60 on a training class, torn hamstrings, runner’s knees, ankle pain, blisters, nights where I slept less than five hours and a weakened pride.

    Good on you for starting!! Injuries are a major bummer, eh? But, you’ve done more than most people who don’t even get off the couch. You will get there! Keep running, and give your dog a pat for me :-)

    Girl I admire you for even trying…It takes committment and can you imagine how you will feel when you cross the finish line…Will be like ‘Lindsay’s Everest’ go for it with all you have got…x

    You go Lindsay! Although I’m not a marathon runner, I have fitness goals that I sometimes get sidelined from as well. I wish you success in making it to your goal!

    This is an inspiring post!
    I always believe that marathon spirit can imply in many fields for example running a business..
    It’s a long run and it needs consistency, persistency and patient.

    I love marathon and I was an active runner before.. It’s really hard but once we’ve managed to finish the run, it will give satisfaction to us.. ;)

    Nice post!
