well I'm finished...
thank god!! ;)

it actually washy that bad.
my Garmin says I did 9.44 miles in 2:26:29

15:31 pace, 5:26 fastest.. whoda thunk I could go that fast??

my pace until the resorts was under 15/mile, but the boardwalk was hard to run/walk on & pics at epcot slowed me down...

I have a couple pics on my blog, more tonight

holy crap I did it!

LJM that is fantastic. I know you have had a couple of rough days lately but this has to put you on top of the world. Your accomplishments show just how important it is to conquer the demons. Your smile is priceless.

I finished my 5K today with another personal best 31:42!! I was soooooo SUPER excited especially since I have been battling tendonitis in my foot all last week. I didn't break the the 30 minute mark that I was hoping for but I did pace a 10:14! Not to bad for a chick that was REALLY fat just a few months ago. See what you have done to inspire me!

Let me know when you start training for the Chicago...so we can be virtual training partners. Believe me...by the time I need to do that dreaded 12 mile run...I am going to need to know that someone is cheering me on!

Great JOB!!!!!

Thanks for putting your dreams and goals out there for the rest of us to follow along. You're quite a testiment to how much a person can achieve if they want it.

Your drive and determination are awesome.
