My best friend Danielle, is one of the most inspiring persons I know.
Last weekend she finished her first 1/2 marathon at Disney all to raise $ for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
She raised over $3,000! and finished in 2:20!
It hit me the other day, here I am complaining about BM dresses and losing weight when she said, 'Why not lose weight, but also be a part of something?'
So, I think I'm going to sign up! Not to just lose weight for my wedding but to lose weight for a cause that will continue for years after I dance my first dance...

I'm a runner and I still haven't hit the marathon circuit.......good for her!

Thats why I hear, running is the fastest way to lose weight if your looking for cardio...
She did triathlons before this, but never 13 miles of straight running... Yea seeing how fabulous you looked in your dress last night and knowing youre a runner definitely inspired me as well

Hey....
My sister and I were never runners....always athletes, but never running, more like volleyball/softball kind. Anyway, she joined team in training about a year ago and finished her first tri-athalon in September......she may not have placed in the top100....but she did amazing and accomplished her own goals! She was so proud of herself (not to mention that she lost about 60 lbs training for it!!). I say go for it!! I'm not quite there yet, but eventually want to do something similar!! Good Luck!!

Re: Want to lose weight? (why i love my bridal party)
This has really inspired me. I've been wanting to take up running, but need some motivation. I looked into it online, and there are some 5Ks I'm interested in, coming up in April and May. That's plenty of time. My mother has ovarian cancer and the Revlon 5K Run/Walk for Breast and Ovarian Cancer is May 3... I just emailed my mom and tried to convince her to do it with me, if she's well enough.
Thanks again for the idea. And if anyone in Western Suffolk is looking for a training partner, FM me!!
