Paula and I have a lot in common (we are girls, have a daughter, like to run) But we are different in some ways 1) When I was 4 months pregnant...I dropped to 10 minute miles and at 6 months I took up walking 2) Let's see I ran first my marathon 12 years after my last daughter was born and all that baby fat (well not all) was gone 3) None of my goals is to win all the big 5 marathons After reading the article in RW ...it shows how amazing that woman is! ANd definitely what most women shouldn't strive to do! MTA: well maybe they should strive but not get too disappointed with only a sub 3 finish

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)

...but Paula wouldn't know ecdysiotropic action of methyl farnesoate if it sat on her face! Smile

90 percent of the game is not giving up.

Sorry about that. It's pretty sensuous stuff, eh? Wink

I'm betting you probably haven't squatted and blown mud in the middle of a race in full view of cameras. So there's that, too.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I am different to her in the following way.....When she was wee she used to buy an eight block bar of fudge and after practising the piano every night (which she hated) she would reward herself with a square of fudge. Sundays gained her 2 blocks as she had her lesson that day. When I was wee I once blew my entire weeks pocket money on Skittles sweeties, ate them all at once and then puked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

Oooh, you're right. I've got her mixed up with some other bodily function mishap. Ironically, just as I stepped out the door for my run today, I all of the sudden had to piss like a Guatemalan water buffalo. Unlike Ms. Radcliffe, I had the luxury of simply stepping inside and taking care of business.
