Damn, girl--nice PRs! Did you leave any medals for anyone else...? Wink

Good to see you, again! Looks like you've had some very productive months of training. Smile

You're so awesome Peach - Great stuff! Makes me proud to live in GA. One of our customers at work is a liver transplant survivor and ran in the Games. My eyes filled up as he described the opening ceremonies and the story of that one speaker and her donor. Wow. Keep inspiring us all hon.
