I love running so much for how it makes me feel, but I also love that people around me now want to run or at least take better care of themselves. <br /><br />And I don't think you're a wannabe runner anymore. You're the real deal. :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862326954843773534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354270740210130211.post-7727493146081588242010-09-29T19:29:32.738-04:002010-09-29T19:29:32.738-04:00What a great, inspiring post.What a great, inspiring post.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644559746937011062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354270740210130211.post-16958632514602355932010-09-29T17:44:15.277-04:002010-09-29T17:44:15.277-04:00You are truly awesome!!!You are truly awesome!!!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354270740210130211.post-48393452145817499052010-09-29T17:01:18.809-04:002010-09-29T17:01:18.809-04:00Dziekuje, Andrew. :)Dziekuje, Andrew. :)Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005438284707424779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354270740210130211.post-80190343666308199302010-09-29T16:22:36.822-04:002010-09-29T16:22:36.822-04:00You are truly inspiring!

I cannot tell you how many friends of mine have started running and racing since I started. Not cause they want to be like me - no way - but because they actually realized that they enjoyed the challenge and the mental and physical changes. Great post!!
