Comment on Running for a Worthy Cause by Matty B.

Very worthy running-related and pre-conceived notion-busting article, Karla. It’s super important to highlight those that have managed to make strides (pun) past the disease and show that diabetes isn’t condemning and isn’t just for a certain demographic of people.

Thank You!

Thanks, Drew! That’s a great reason. I’ve heard from some other folks that it gives them a chance to explore and a chance to be alone. All great reasons too. I’ve added you to my blogroll if you’ll do the same Happy trails!

Hi, Karla. I found your blog though Mike from Running is Funny. Nice post. In addition to most of the reasons you’ve cited, I run because it defines me, gives me purpose. I like that I am known and referred to as a “runner.” So much better than the alternatives.

Happy running!

Ah the glory of new beginnings and a sparkle in your eye to make it all happen. Good on you for making the marathon training cycle one more time and reaching a little higher with a new program. I look forward to reading about this new finagled FIRST thingy, let us know if it’s everything it claims to be.

I earned an entry through NYRR–one of the perks of living in NYC. But keep trying with the lottery. If you don’t get in three years in a row through the lottery, you’ll get an automatic entry the following year. You’re almost there!

And you can always run for a charity. That’s how I got in my first year:

I’ll let you know how training goes…

Fantastic pics and layout (per usual).

So jealous that you get to run the NYC. I signed up and didn’t get accepted in the lottery (second time).

Keep up the updates!

Very cool. I reported two weeks ago that she had been approved to compete as a female and it’s super-exciting that she’s out winning medals already!

Karla,
I realize only after pinging you back that I didn’t comment on the beautiful layout of your blog.

From the pictures you choose, to the headings/comment section/tags. Well done! If you have any critical feedback for me I’d love to hear it!

And, finally, I’ve added you to my blog roll and my personal RSS compiler, too.

Have a great day!

I think NYC is brutal–I can’t even imagine what it must be like in Texas. Keep at it and good luck! Just think how happy you’ll be when you finish that marathon.

Thanks for writing this. I got it at just the right time in my Texas summer marathon training. It’s just brutal!
