Thank you for hosting this great even again, especially with a wee one at home – you are both awesome! š
I’m in for the half-marathon (have to work the next week)!
That is wonderful!
So maybe because I applied before my page didn’t ask anything more than what I posted this morning with my name, email and message. I hope that was all I needed? I am sure you are swamped with messages – so I will be patient and don’t need a reply right away. š

I was exhilarated by the half-marathon I participated in. Now I’m back to try to complete a full-marathon. It is such a stimulating exercise! Highly recommended!
I agree – but as I work on Monday I thought I better stick to the half-marathon! Will see you ‘there’!
Hooray! That is great!
Yay! Signed up to do the full marathon again! I had such an amazing time in 2017 that I knew I HAD to do it again. Thank you for bringing it back this year in spite of your busy schedules and family life.
In the last two years I have gone back and reread what I wrote the first time. It is fun to remember just how exhausted I was on some of them and then that second, third and fourth wind! Hehe
I am very interested. I love to write poetry. How do I apply?

Warmly,

I am excited about this challenge…
I’m in for the full marathon. We each have to set up a password to log in, right?
David, the old password should still work (Although we are still shifting around things back there in preparation
).
I think you should be able to use your old password or re-set it but you can email us if more help is needed. Glad to have you back.
Caitlin,
Thanks for hosting this again!
Love,
Virginia
