You will look back on his adventure in a couple of months and smack yourself on the forehead…..

You’re not writing this like you’re giving up. Way to pick up the pieces.

My Nike AD! This ad reminds me of when I started running trails and I would cry every day. Look at how far you’ve come!

Omigosh! Talk about the run from hell! I’m so sorry you had to experience this! But now you know what not to do and I’m sure you’ll never have to experience this again.

Thanks for writing this, it was captivated through the whole thing, picturing the scene.

I have my long-distance runs coming up in the next few weeks and will be sure to learn from your experience.

Keep you head up – I think you’ll kickass in LA!

Hey, as long as you learn from your mistakes, you’ll do fantastic in three weeks. If it was all easy, everyone would be a marathoner, not just us awesome people!

You know what? You are awesome. Even though you view this run as a sort of failure, what you learned about yourself and just going through it and coming out the other side will prove to be invaluable.

You are NOT to be the girl left behind! You ABSOLUTELY have what it takes…Nike already proved that! You will conquer and kick ass! We all make mistakes…it’s what makes us better. Stronger. More appreciative of the runs that actually go right. You are not a quitter. You are a fighter. I told you last night, and I will tell you again..it’s not about what you DID…it’s about what you do AFTER what you did. Learn from this. Apply that knowledge to your 20 miler this weekend. Show that bitch who’s boss! The road doesn’t own you; you own the road! Get after it, missy! I believe in you…even when you don’t.

Do you remember this:
If someone hurts you, I’ll knock them out.
If you jump off a bridge, I’ll be on the ground to catch you.
If you cry, I’ll let you cry on my shoulder.
If your kicked out, I’ll take you in.
If your drunk, I’ll take your keys.
If your world comes crashing down, I’ll be standing right next to you.
If you cry because of me, it’s because I made you laugh too hard.

Well, add this line..
If you bonk on a run, I’ll be there to cuss you out and get your ass moving again…like you did for me at mile 14.

It’s what we do!

You rock, Linda!!!
