I read this in Oxygen Mag, I really like this publiction ( I don't like alot of women fitness or health mags because most of the time it is watered down and the only objective is weight loss, but oxygen is a peg or two above the rest, even though its focus is on fitness competion).

After his last marathon, in New York City, he turned around and ran 1300 miles back to St. Louis, Missouri, where he had run his first event, the Lewis & Clark Marathon.

I think I need to get that magazine because I'm not feeling all that motivated. I went and worked out last night and it took all my energy so I'll have to think about that one***But I liked your idea about getting together. Girls night:) We'll have to talk about it.
I guess I remind myself that I really do love exercise and the way I feel AFTER I do it! If I look at it as something that is for me, something that I love rather than a chore I get more hyped up....although I know that a lot of people don't like it, so my suggestion would be turn your ipod to full volume on a very fast song:)
