Great Post netzer0!  

My friends and family already think that I am crazy for running marathons, does this mean that they will think that I am crazier still?  

If they're like mine, and sounds like they are, yes! Laughing

Thank you for the great post.  This sport is addicting in every way.  Not one thing has been negative so far.  I have come to crave the training and race events because of positive encouragement from people like the OP and many others on BT.

same here. really nice post. this is the heart of this site and sometimes gets lost in the sarcastic and sometimes heated thread (stay away from threads about showers and pools for the time being).

i look back on last year and A. can't believe how fast it went and B. continue to be thrilled with the memories i made and people i have met. can't begin to imagine how the next year will be.

You should run your posts by ingleshteechur for copy editing first.  And your seat is too high.  And use the search feature.

 

And it's cool that everyone here is so friendly that we can rib each other good naturedly!

Too bad that this will likely disappear from the front page of the forum within a short while.

Sticky?

good post- except the inspiring music part.  I have an ipod.

I do have inspiring music following me around when I run

My training started on January 1, and although I am sore and tired I love it.  That being said, your post was tremendously inspirational.

Early contender for post of the year.

Nice way to start 2012, thanks for the memories and enjoyable read.

Should be stickied or something, hope this one does not get lost in cyber space.

Thanks for the 'welcome' post. I signed up for my first triathlon this year (June 2012) and am still feeling a little overwhelmed at my decision to attempt this but I am going to do it.

Love Love Love it!

I still think of myself as a newbie - did my 3rd Sprint at the weekend (6th triathlon in two years) - got a 2.80.20 in June and I'm training hard.

I'm printing that welcome letter and putting it on my office wall - inspirational.  Triathletes rock - such a nice bunch of people!
