    Sweet.

     

    How many had you done before you did the 3 in 79 days?

     

    3 marathons in 79 days (requirement is 2 in 16 or 3 in 90).

        Was that your initial plan when you started?

         

        I think we are close to the same age, but I want to be you when I grow up.

          LOL.  I didn't have a plan.  I had signed up for my first and second, then the third, before I even heard of the Marathon Maniacs.  They fit the category so I took advantage.  Now what I am doing now is on purpose.

            LOL, T-rod, I'm a gazillion times older than her, but I am at least the same gender.  So maybe I'll get to be her (not likely!)   Then again, I wouldn't mind growing up to be Lily or Beth either.

              I want to be lily if I can have her abs.  I love Beth's house so can I be her too?

                  Glad I got some laughs here. This is much better than that meltdown thread over Disney medals Smile

                          I want to grow up to be any of you, because you're all amazing! But that would mean running marathons. Marathons give medals. Medals cause 17 page meltdown threads. I think medals are evil?????

                              And Beth has posted many other pics of her house and it looks amazing.  I have no talent for decorating anything, so I'm jealous.
