Hey girl! Thank you so much for the running advice! This is the only time in my life that I have actually enjoyed running and look forward to it. I think I definitely need to utilize the vasaline between the toes as I have got a few mean blisters! Right now I am just working on 3 miles 3x a week. Trying to get my time around 21:00. Perhaps next year Ill give my cities marathon a shot!
