You are so strong! I think you have been my most inspirational blogger friend thus far. Incredible! Now, you continue to amaze me with your goals for 2012! If your body is staying this strong and healthy, I think you should go for the Iron Man. NYC will always be there for you! I hope your 20 miler went well. My long runs are really, really slow but I can't believe how much faster I'm recovering, duh! Hugs and congrats! Have fun at MCM! 5 marathons?? You are so strong!

I think that racing in Hawaii has to be something of wonderful. You are right, fall is the best season for the workouts. Here also winter is not so cold. My first 20 miles will be oct 9 and the second on oct 30. Have a great time at Marine Corps Marathon. You are planning a year full of important events.

I'm curious about who does this, how much it costs, and what exactly is required. Have a great time at Marine Corps! I didn't think it was very hilly. The finish is up a short hill but overall the hills were non-descript. I guess everything is relative. It probably depends on the hills you typically cover during training.

I'm sure we'll run into each other at MCM amongst 35,000 of our running friends. Good luck to you - reading through your story over the last year you deserve good weather, amongst a host of other good things. I'm working hills now too - getting ready for that start and finish. Iron(wo)man - that is awesome. I bow to your athletic superiority. Looking forward to following your training. 6 short weeks to go. Tear it up in DC! Thanks for the blog comment.

Sounds like you will be quite busy next year . . . and we aren't even done with this year! WOW running in Hawaii sounds wonderful – a lot better than running in Minnesota (or WI) during January ;-)

This will be quite an adventure. I bet you will do great. You seem to have a very disciplined approach to your training, not like some people I know. :) Ironman, you say? Wow!
