Late to this because I am an asshat.

About #151 - you can walk a marathon. That counts. And you get a medal. Medals are great.

Let me know which marathon you want to do (check out MarathonGuide.com link on my MarathonMom blog) and I'll try my best to do that race too.

Thanks, always, for your loving kindness Janeen.
