Sounds like you should listen to Matt more often.
Good luck and the Dr. today!!!!!!!!! Let us know how it goes!
I love the 'how many miles is a marathon' question...or better 'how many miles is THAT marathon?' - like marathons come in different distances.
I'm not judging people though...I didn't get the whole marathon thing either until I started running with some focus.
Good luck Steph!

Oh Stephanie, I'm hoping for the best! We all want to know what doc says, not in a voyeuristic way, just cuz we care!
love love love your husband! (assuming his name is matt...which i should know by now...)
You are going to rock this weekend! Keep up the great work and pace yourself!
It's going to be so rewarding when you finish! I think you should wear your medal every time you go over to see your parents just to remind your dad that you knocked the marathon on its butt!
I'd wish you luck - but I know you don't need it.
Good luck this weekend and I hope the Dr. has nothing but good news today!!!
Happy birthday! And good luck! And way to go! I can't wait to hear all about it--and I'm crossing my fingers and toes that the doctor had good news for you today! And I'm going to add one more exclamation point! Just because I can!
the one i get all the time is, "when is your marathon?" dude i told you when it was, yesterday the day before that, and the day before that! hehe.
have a good race. this is going to be awesome!

I wondered over to your site from A. Maria's, I guess just in time to wish you good look with your marathon. I just finished one Sunday so know what you're up against. Anyway good luck and don't forget to smile when you run over the finish line!
Matt sounds like a keeper. Isn't great to have a partner rooting you on. My husband ran a bit at the end with today. Thanks for bringing us to the finish line guys! Oh, and Mom likes to call any road race a marathon. She tells friends I'm running a marathon whenever I enter a 5k. So they weren't too surprised when I actually finally entered one.
