I DID IT!!!!

[cameravenus]

This video was in reference to running 20 miles. Yes, I lost 20 lbs overall, too, but that's not the point of this vid.

twenty ~ that's a g2c marathon! how are the feet doing? Keep up the good work - I've heard marathons can be addicting! CONGRATS it's so cool seeing you on a runners high!

[cameravenus]

Thanks Mike! I know - people who have never experienced it are seriously missing out. I've "tried" to explain it to a few friends and they just look at me and say "from RUNNING?" HA

[trboh]

Thanks for sharing that excitement with us. You have done a great job.

[cameravenus]

Thank you Terry - and you have no idea how many times your little motto runs in my head "do more than you think you can."

[losetogain]

I knew you would do it, i'm so proud of you!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!

[cameravenus]

Thanks Dustin! One day you will be running right past me at your 8 min pace :)

[planetsparky]

very exciting. Are you doing a big marathon with thousands of people or a local one with a few hundred?

[cameravenus]

It's a big one - it's the POrtland Marathon in Oregon. I think it's over 7,000 people or something...? There are a bunch of bands and the route, etc. I'm STOKED! :)

[WalkWithHands]

YOU MOTIVATE ME! Sooooo much! Haha! I am so happy for you and watching this video made me happy.. Still smiling! Actually, I got off the bus early today when coming from uni because of the walking you started here. I thought, oh, now is a good time to do that walking, so I did. See you later!! :)

[cameravenus]

It's so cool that we can all inspire each other! :) you leave the sweetest comments - and that seriously motivates me, too. Keep up the great work and I'll be checking on you at the end of the week
