A happy byproduct of training for the half marathon was "running" into the same runners when I was out on my loops. I hope they understand that if i'm towards the end they will get a wave but not a smile - if it's at the beginning I will smile, though!

I have lost over 67 LBS with the help of a personal trainer at www.illuminategym.com. I just wanted to ask you one question... When I ran with the extra pounds my joints really hurt. Now I am able to jog a little bit without pain. I want to know if you had pain while you were a bit heavier?? Thanks and this is a great blog.
