but OMGee!! a girl can only be so strong!! 
Something really nice happened at the family get together. I had just walked in and my 22 yr old nephew saw me and said "wow, you look really healthy!" Now that felt good! He came over and and gave me a hug (he has never hugged me before) & asked me what was I doing. I told him just eating healthy, working out, and training for a 1/2 marathon. He said he really wants to "get back" into working out, I told him it just takes that first step out the door - after that the rest is easy...
Then my brother-in-law says to me "I just wanted to tell you that you have inspired me" He is overweight and a few years ago was in really bad health (he is younger than me), but he has quit smoking and has started riding his bike everyday. He has lost 23 lbs. He said he would eventually like to add walking then running - and i said that was awesome!!
Reminded me that people really do notice and even tho' I may not realize it, even someone like me can be a positive influence on someone, enough to challenge them to make changes in their own life.
Makes it all even more worth it.
Ran 7 miles on the beach Saturday - felt awesome!
Got up this morning and did a bw workout:
2 x 12 standard pushups
2 x 12 x 2 step ups
2 x 25 crunch
2 x 12 leg lifts
2 x 12 dips
2 x 12 burpees
2 x 12 squats
Planning on running later this evening.
I know i've been doing okay with cheats here and there and of course really badly the past weekend but you are motivational to really kick it up a notch. 
I am in love with this watch, and must have one now for my own. It keeps up with your mileage as you run, beeps on every mile, tells you your current pace and/or average pace. Absolutely freakin' awesome - a runner's dream.
