12:20pm - Got to the gym and thankfully no one was on the TM, haven't run 14 on a TM this year and with the 'new years resolutioners' the gyms been crowded and was a bit concerned I'd get kicked off. While I ran, all the mills were being used, but they cycled off and on perfectly, so I was able to complete my run!

Your blog has been so inspiring! I ran the NYRR race on Sunday and it was my first this year as my fiance and I try to do the same thing you did- qualify for the marathon through races and volunteering! Do you have suggestions on how to not get bored on the TM? Thanks!:)

So I recently stumbled upon and have since enjoyed your blog. I joined the NYRRs this year and its very cool seeing your journey from the start, when you tackled the 9 plus one, to a year later prepping for the marathon!

Could you explain a little bit about why it's important to focus on heart rate like you're doing in your training?

I just signed up for the MORE half-marathon in April. Haven't ever run more than 10 miles though, and that's on the TM. So hopefully I'll be able to ramp things up in the next few months so that I can handle 13.1. ;)

Thanks!
