    Well Nanci, my dedication is from the fact that I honestly was at a point where I physically could not run anymore.

    Faced with the idea of not doing triathlons anymore, has gotten me motivated to try to fix my running and the pain associated with it.

    And, 8 weeks is a long time... and I probably have 8 more to go before I can run a good solid mile with perfect form... but it will be worth it in the end. I will have perfect form and no pain from running.

    So, this year I might only get one tri on the calendar... but it will be worth it in the long run.

    Thanks for the compliments!

    Oh, nice new picture! I almost didn't know who it was posting... as I was so use to seeing you laying on a rock in green cycling clothes.

    Perhaps if you complete one tri this season that will be done with no pain -it will be the most enjoyable tri you have done so far. I am sure all your training will pay off

    Very true.

    Just being able to run a 5K without a side stitch and with a 10 minute mile (or better!) will make this all worth it!

    Oh, and my legs are so sore today! Thank goodness I finally have a rest day today and tomorrow! 6 solid days of exercising has finally caught up to my muscles!

    Congratulations! I am so happy for you. Just knowing you're doing this keeps me more mindful of my form when I'm running. L.
