Love your fantasy!--Keep those dreams and aspirations intact.

You did great!--You finished! Some of us never started (and possibly never will, though we won't give up hope either).

Good job! Donna

Bernie,
I don't think that I feel much pride. It is what it is--but I would so love to be able to do it faster, better. It was embarrassing posting my time as most people walk that fast but, oh well. Sometimes you have to eat humble pie and rejoice with others successes.

As an on-looker, I have only admiration for someone who enters, trains, runs and finishes! Once again, your sense of humor reigns. Before reading commentary, I thought you shed your running pants & shirt as the run went on and finished in your bikini attire! Like all those other great "before" and "after" shots.

I loved your post Brenda, With dreams like yours surely your fantasy will become a reality!I think it's fabulous that you can just run, I can't do that any more. But I do keep working out!
