"I like running because it's a challenge. If you run hard, there's the pain--and you've got to work your way through the pain. You know, lately it seems all you hear is? 'Don't overdo it' and 'Don't push yourself.' Well, I think that's a lot of bull. If you push the human body, it will respond."
- Bob Clarke, Philadelphia Flyers general manager, NHL Hall of Fame.

I am so awful...I only run if something is chasing me...and then that usually isn't motivation enough. Maybe if I were on fire...
All joking aside...GOOD FOR YOU!!!! That is awesome!!
LOVE that quote. I am so close to being able to run again I can taste it! I am so happy you are running again. Want to do a 5k in March?
Woot! Woot! You must be TRAINING! You go girl!
Good for you! Nice new banner...!
wow
what a banner!!!!
I am really impressed by your attitude girl-
I wish I could say I am a runner, actually I am lying, I don't want to be a runner.
I wish I could lay on the couch, eat all day & still look great. There I said it- I know it can't be so- but I said it *sigh*
I guess I'm going to have to pull up your blog everyday to remind me to get going :)
thanks for the reminder
Good point, the benefits are priceless!
Boy I sure wish I like to run like this guy! How the heck are you anyway? I've missed the updates girl. Hope you had a very merry holiday time. Thinking of you.
Crystal, you are so freakin' cool. And that's all I have to say. :)
Good for you! I need to start running again!!!
Posted like a true runner!
Oh my...has your time off from blogging been motivational? Are you channeling Rocky these days?
Okay, Okay I will start now and stop saying "NEXT MONDAY!"
You go girl!! Have fun with it.
I have this same theory with eating!!
Go YOU!! I've been on pins and needles to hear more about your training. Glad you are hitting it.
Love, love, love that quote. Aren't out bodies amazing?!?! Praise God!
Hows the running going? Me? this weather and only being on the treadmill is making me feel like a hamster on my wheel... no fun but I'm doing it dammit I guess thats something.
Go Crystal!!! I'm excited to watch your progress week by week!
Love that! Needed that too! I am kicking my own butt in gear this week! It needs it!!!
All the way!
Like your new banner! Good quote too!
Wow! I won't ever be a runner with my knees, but I like the idea of the body responding to our pushing it.
Funny!
Oh my, I don't think i could run, unless a dog was chasing me or something....but go for it. I have been pressing a little bit harder this week....I am surprised I kept up with the challenge...to tell you the truth. I just wished i HAD A big guy with a huge back telling me, GO GIRL, don't be a sissy...and have him be my personal trainer, now that would be awesome!.
My knees and my breathing don't enjoy the challenge of running! I'll stick to my walking and fun exercising with the Wii. You can run a step or two for me, k?! :D
