		<description>Mike, I obviously need to check my Twitter account more often as I am just seeing this blog post now, three months later!! Keep running - both for yourself and any other reason you can think of. You have come so far in just a couple short years... Charity runs definitely have their place, but you have many reasons/goals for running and they will all result in improved health for you, Maggie and Olivia.</description>

		<description>HI

I think that this is not for energy but for dying sooner.

I don&#039;t think my stomach will stand eating food like this.

thanks

		<description>Holy Cow, Mike!!!  You are an inspiration, my friend.

As we are about to release our Mac version of PERRLA in a few weeks, I wanted to let you know so that you could get a copy (free).

I am SO IMPRESSED that you&#039;ve been able to shed so much weight.  I need to get off my butt and follow your lead.

Regards,
Cliff </description>

		<description>Well the 10K sounds great but the vacation sounds better.

I&#039;ll take my flat courses with slight rises or few hills any day. That written, I am entertaining a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hoodtocoast.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Hood to Coast&lt;/a&gt; relay team for 2012. I&#039;d better get after those hills myself.</description>

		<description>Congratulations, Mike! Your experience made me think of my own. I did a half marathon in 2007 and 2008. It&#039;s an amazing experience, where you know you&#039;re pushing yourself to the limit. I didn&#039;t train well for 2007, and did a fair amount of walking. In 2008, I did a bit better, and ran the whole race, which was my primary goal. You&#039;ve come a along way, and you&#039;re looking great! I hope you&#039;re feeling great as well. I&#039;m cheering for you as you make your way to 26.2!

I&#039;m going to be doing some training as well, leading up at a 10K in San Francisco this August! I have no doubt I can get the distance...it&#039;s the hills I&#039;m worried about!</description>
