Barely, but I did it!!! At about mile 11.5, my right leg really started to hurt. It was weird, it actually felt ok when I was running but when I took my walk breaks...I could barely walk. It was really amazing. My program rep Kara who had to step down about two months ago was there. She had been such a source of strength for me...always believing in me. She actually stayed at the finish line to greet me when I crossed. She hugged me and said see I told you you would do it. At that point, I lost it....I cried so much from sheer happiness that I indeed had succeeded in my goal. I trained hard for six months, I never gave up, I gave it everything I had and OMG I DID IT!!!Im really sore right now. But as soon as I get the pictures I will post them.HugglesPS: Francisco, Im so glad I found you before the race began... I was telling my pace group that I couldnt do it until I got my hug from you and I got it just in time!!! You are awesome!! Quote

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Posted August 2, 2005 , I wrote a long e-mail to you earlier, and it came back to me. The bottom line is that I'm terribly proud of you...and I just think you should be bursting with pride in yourself. Next year, baby...you are going to have a partner, and we're going to cross that line together! Robynn Diane Duenas wrote: LOL Thank you Kerre!!!> > I did it!!!
