[atrienneyates78]

You are such a blessing!

[Fantabalous25]

What's going on with your bipolar disorder... how are your meds what are you taking? Everything you do and have done are ALL my goals. I recently quit smoking in Feb, after ten years and want to run a marathon. I have runners knee so that's a problem for me to overcome. I also have gone natural, well ten years ago, but started taking care of my hair in March and yesterday I was diagnosed with BPD. I am having a very difficult time completing my degree and would love to know how you balance.

[caitsith12321]

You are so inspiring! One day I hope to do this! Congrats on your marathon! You worked hard and did an amazing job! Be Proud!!! :)

[blessedangel07]

this is so awesome Amy : ) keep it up!!

[smblyther]

OMG Amy, I was really emotional during this vid! It is such a great feeling to do these types of events. IN 2007 I did the Susan G. Komen's Race for the cure (did the 3.5 m walk) and this past Feb I did the climb to conquer cancer. There were survivors and family members participating in both and it was so emotional as well as motivating. GIRL YOU ROCK!!!!! Thank you for sharing and dang girl...26 miles!! wow!!!

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

@smblyther Feels good to help others in need doesn't it? I can't wait to do it all over again!

[msxp3erynce]

GO AMY!!!!!!!

[GomeztheWolf]

Personally, I would not wait in a line that big to go in a portapotty.

Really happy you could reach your goal Amy!

[FeliciaSmiles]

Amy, You are amazing! You've come so far. I know a few vlogs back you said that we have to dig within to find the true inspiration and motivation (something like that) I believe that to be true but being able to see and hear someone's story and follow along your journey is just awesome. What helps motivation more then to be able to really see all things are possible.

Thanks so much for sharing.

[lambadal]

you really are an inspiration amy!

[cnsforever]

CONGRATS AMY!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS~

[cnsforever]

CONGRATS AMY!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!!!!

[blackphd2b]

LOL @ the TEAM cheerers in drag. One year ours wore swimsuits, floaties, and other pool gear. Pure comedy and a nice distraction from the pain. So proud of you, Amy!

[azngirl967]

that looks really fun in a way =] i really want to run one....

[jsix4evr]

Amy YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!

[bellasmom82]

Way to go Amy, I was tearing up watching your video, you're such an inspiration. I am running my first 5k this weekend and I'll be replaying that phrase in my head, "there's nothing you can't do". Love your videos!

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

@bellasmom82 GOOD LUCK!!! You're gonna have a blast and feel so awesome afterwards! Exactly - THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN'T DO!

[mssmia14]

Great job Amy. 

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

@mssmia14 Thanks!

[AkeemJamal90]

were you the only one assigned to his case? or was it several people? sorry if i'm being too nosey, i'm just curious.

and congrats on the completion of your marathon :).

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

@AkeemJamal90 No, I wasn't. William was the entire chapter's Honored Hero :o) My chapter for sure.....not sure who the Atlanta's Honored Hero is.

[lesiab]

When you said "There's nothing you can't do," it made me cry. I'm so proud of you. :)  But you better stop making me cry all the darn time. LOL

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

@lesiab Haaa! Ooops, sorry bout that! I want to add Whitney Houston's song "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" for the background music but you know how YouTube is about copyright infringement crap :o(

[stolenturtle]

WTG, Amy! Glad you had a great time in our beautiful city! :)

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

@stolenturtle WHAT? You were in SD? We couldve met somewhere!! :o( Did you see the race?

[stolenturtle]

@Smile2DayTears2Morro Yep, I live here! I missed the race. I was planning to participate in it myself, but I missed the deadline to buy my ticket. I had a friend who went, though and she's still recovering, lol. I'm going next year so if you come back out for it, we'll have to grab dinner. Glad you had a good time! :)

[Yekinae2]

YAY! AMY YOU ROCK!! LOL those cheerleaders were awesome!

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

@Yekinae2 Thanks Michelle! Yeah they were! ALL of entertainment at the race was awesome!

[tnt5150tk]

Girl do your thang!! I run half marathons on a regualar basis and have no desire to do the whole shabang. Hey if it was easy everyone would be doing it...lol Im proud of you cuz I know first hand that running long distances aint easy! and the fact that u were up and in a hotel lobby 3 hours before the race started!

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

@tnt5150tk I haven't run a half marathon....YET! There's one coming up in my area in a few months that I'm gonna register for. I'm so hooked now! lol Yeah we had to meet in the lobby at 3 something and the race began at 6:15am. Busy day!

That is so freaking awesome Amy...Congrats, and you didn't look that tired dointg it!! I am gonna run my first 5K soon so I have a long way to go,but I will get there.. please share your training tips and things you eat while training. Again Congrats!!

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

@varakab1flychic Oh I was tired alright! lol Good luck on running your first 5k! You're gonna rock it and be hooked on racing! I'll try and get around to telling you what I did to train :o)

[JaneaOMG]
