I'm old and slow compared to most of you, but managed to beat my best marathon time by 30:39 in yesterdays race. Went in with a 7 hour goal and a 6:30 stretch goal and finished in 6:48. Ran some, walked some, ran some more, walked some more. FINISHED!

Congratulations! Yes, you're older than I am, but I've never run a marathon and don't know if I have it in me! You rock. Big grin

Sounds like yellow is your color Rose, that's a helluva PR.

Any vertical finish is a good finish....good job.

Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
