This was posted on MarathonGuide.com. I'm a HUGE Alanis Morissette fan!!
Yes, even before this weekend we loved Alanis Morissette. But now we just can't stop saying enough about this superstar who completed her first marathon and wants to use it to inspire others. Morissette completed the Bizz Johnson Trail Marathon in 4:17:08, raising money for the National Eating Disorders Association. Before the marathon, Morissette wrote this on her website about her training: "it's been a gift to use my body for something bigger than the ego-me... to offer the training and the run itself up to all people on this planet who have had a fraught relationship with themselves, their bodies, their souls, their emotions, their place in this funny world, their food, their relationships...." After the marathon she wrote this: "wow! that experience was truly beautiful and electric and traumatic and exciting and horrifying and surreal and moving and unforgettable..." We are truly inspired by Morissette's songwriting/singing - and now by her spirit as a marathoner. Read more and then donate! at Morissette's website: Alanis Morissette's Website
Not much to add...her after-race feelings says it all. Train hard...run far!

I've always wanted to do the Bizz Johns Trail Marathon. Not only did she do Bizz Johnson last weekend, but she is running the NYC Marathon the 1st weekend in November. That's 3 weeks between marathons and means she ran Bizz Johnson as a training run for NYC. She is indeed one of us. I wonder if she would consider running Paris with us?
Hey, I already invited her up to Alaska to run the Mayor's Marathon and to attend a salmon BBQ...fat chance she'll show up or even acknowledge my existence! We attended her concert here back in 1999ish...she rocked and was hot!
