Someone gave me a subscription to them for christmas last year so I've been getting them....a few months before the marathon I wrote one of the writers and shared my story. I did this for the heck of it, I never expected a response but I got one...they want to use me in their "real runner's" section... Except the email was sent in Nov...and I just now checked it, I wrote her back and said I hoped it wasnt too late that I'd still love to be futured...

The folks that I read about in that RW section amaze me! Would love to read your story although from your signature it must have something to do with having a liver transplant when you were even younger then you are now. What a big deal to go through!

Run like you are on fire! 5K goal 24:00 or less (PR 24:34) 10K goal 50:00 or less (PR 52:45) HM goal 1:55:00 or less (PR 2:03:02) Marathon Goal...Less than my PR (PR 4:33:23)

That's awesome, Peach! I hope they haven't passed on you given the lapse in time. Keep us posted. Wink

I get that alot...people cant understand how someone like me can even run at all...it was interesting to me during the marathon...I had I dont know how many people ask me about it (I had my transplant date on the back of my shirt.) Around mile 24 I had one guy behind me, caught up to me, asked me how I was able to run this without hurting my transplant or something along them lines...I shook my head, and said same as your doing it and put my hand over my heart.

well done, I featured this year in the UK edition, regarding how I had lost over 80lbs through running - basically how running had saved my life!

"I've been following Eddy's improvement over the last two years on this site, and it's been pretty dang solid. Sure the weekly mileage has been up and down, but over the long haul he's getting out the door and has turned himself into quite a runner. He's only now just figuring out his potential. Consistency in running is measured in years, not weeks. And over the last couple of years, Eddy's made great strides" Jeff 14 Jan 2009

Don't sweat it - I work with lots of magazine publishers and they're often working a few issues out. Chances are VERY good they already had that space full for the next few issues anyway. Smile

Congrats!
