I haven't said anything because I didn't want to jinx myself - but the knee injury I wrote about a while back healed enough to start running again after only 2 1/2 weeks. I've continued my training & today was a mileage record for me - I ran 16 miles! I signed up for the San Fransisco Marathon on August 3rd and I am so excited because I think I am actually going to do it! I am sure I'll post a lot more after the actual event - but for now... a 5 week countdown and a picture from after my run this morning...
And, I just liked this picture of Halle... you can see her pretty blue eyes & perfectly placed freckles:)

amazing!
Wow I am so impressed Melanie-and I am glad that your feeling better. By the way you look so good! I am ready to start exercising, but I still have a couple of weeks until I am cleared but seeing your picture makes me really want to go out and start!
i'm very impressed...it's hard for me to run 1 mile. 16 just seems impossible! I'm glad your knee healed. Bum knees are no fun. Can't wait to hear how the marathon goes!
That's great that you healed so quickly! I know how upset you were that you weren't able to run. Good luck on the marathon!
Melanie, that is just fantastic! Congratulations
I wish I could run that much. I used to run 3 miles a day, but now I probably can't even run a mile. I'm so out of shape. I am so impressed! I'm glad your knee is getting better.
that's awesome. I know you can do it - it has been a goal of yours for a while and no doubt, you'll accomplish it. GOOD LUCK with the rest of your training! :)
Good luck Mel, we will be cheering you on!!!! Will this be your first marathon?? You look so good by the way :)
