In fact, I'm quite sure that some of my recent physical ailments (foot, back) are likely because I'm heavier than I should be and way out of shape. It makes me mad that healthcare in our nation pays for sickness but does nothing to reward fitness. That was a random, but good tangent, no??? ha.Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-91313380123969704212012-08-22T17:01:02.209-07:002012-08-22T17:01:02.209-07:00wow I am totally impressed even with your ouchie f...wow I am totally impressed even with your ouchie feet, hope they are feeling better now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000663314398947348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-62768672795261886102012-08-20T05:50:21.934-07:002012-08-20T05:50:21.934-07:00wow congratulations on finishing! very impressive...wow congratulations on finishing! very impressive, and you should be super proud of yourself :)missrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595843215458849973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-38216201520276099322012-08-19T14:04:24.972-07:002012-08-19T14:04:24.972-07:00Congrats!

Congratulations! You almost have me wanting to do a 50K, though I should probably just do, um, a race before I sign up for that. :^)Terzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617301871875902162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-73999403946151650932012-08-17T15:01:34.880-07:002012-08-17T15:01:34.880-07:00Way to go!!

Way to blow your time goal out of the water. <br /><br />I am probably about as in shape this year as I was last year as I am doing a lot of the same workouts, but I have way more endurance than last year since I was training for a shorter distance. If I had 3,000 guilt free calories, I'd eat a steak and some (homemade) mac and cheese!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-64300873653949030032012-08-17T13:42:04.586-07:002012-08-17T13:42:04.586-07:00Great job Kyria!

I'm not sure that I'll ever do a 50k- so impressed with those who do multiple marathons... they really take a toll on my body. <br />Hmm, this time last year I was coming off my first marathon and was probably a bit more fit than I am now in terms of endurance, but a little slower. It will be fun to see what you're up to in another year! :)Mommy Run Fasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02172007555251749935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-20945589800625675472012-08-17T10:03:40.658-07:002012-08-17T10:03:40.658-07:00Awesome job!!!!

So cool that you are in a completely different place than you ever imagined a year ago.<br /><br />I have to admit that I am not as speedy as I thought I would be by now after coming back from injury. It has been humbling, but also it gives me incentive to work hard.misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-62855196981132212272012-08-17T09:18:10.017-07:002012-08-17T09:18:10.017-07:00You are awesome!!

I can down a lot of calories really quickly too, depends on the day though, some days I am a bottomless pit and others my stomach is a bit messed up.

Last year at this time I was running faster and putting in a lot more miles, and was in much better condition than I am now. It has been almost a year since my injury, so I can't entirely blame that anymore for my lack of endurance and speed. I'm hoping that once I get settled into my new place and a new routine that I'll be able to find the consistency to get my fitness back to where it was and beyond.

I am slow. ;)<br /><br />I loved the "I am more of a dump truck than a Ferrari" line.
