finally!!!! I ran the New Bedford Half Marathon today and finished at 2:21:25. I am very happy with that. I've been struggling a lot and expected to come in between 2:30 and 3:00. AND, I stopped to help a woman who's knee gave out on her - I'm guessing that was 30 seconds to a minute stop. I am just so happy right now!

Nicely done Cherrie!

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

Goals 2013:

Wooly Trails HM on 2/16
Another HM TBD
run 1000 miles?

thanks all. I'm taking a few days for my thighs to feel like they work again and then back at it. Planning on running the Cox 1/2 on May 1st.
