Thanks everybody!

And as for replacing a bad habit with a good...I used to get - not quite offended - but definitely put off when people would "accuse" me of being addicted to running, but a year or so ago I embraced it as a compliment...there are worse things I could be addicted to!

Congratulations! Those smokes cost a lot more when you add in the cost of a lower quality of life.

All the accolades are well deserved...but I happen to feel the 52 half marathons run in 2012 (last year) is freaking amazing. I have not the words to describe that achievement.

Yes, you usually do have the words. Often pudding is involved. (insert despised winkee here to denote playful joshing)

Thanks Andy. The crazy quantity of HM's is never something I know if I should be proud of or not (publicly - privately I sing this once an hour - click it SRL, it's just a link to a TMBG video)...because it's a weird personal thing that not everyone can understand...but what I am proud of was that I finally got not only a sub 2 half but a 1:56 - something that couch potato/ smoker me of the past would have NEVER thought possible. I credit my 51 training runs/half marathons for that PR. Smile

Jen - You are seriously kicking some booty! Great job on breaking an unhealthy habit and taking good care of that body.

Live the Adventure. Enjoy the Journey. Be Kind. Have Faith!

Privately, and publicly, it is something you should be very, very proud of.
