Thanks everyone for the kind words! It was an amazing experience! I never in a million years ever thought I'd even think of doing something like this let alone accomplish it. Just shows that if you believe in yourself you can accomplish anything you set out to do!

Great Job!

Although its good reports like this, that are going to make me want to try this someday .... Then at mile 80, I will be like "damn you Rocken ... this is not nearly as fun as you made it seem".

You make it all the way to mile 80 in your imagination? Mine stops at 26.2 and that's about 10 miles too far.

MTA - congrats Rocken

Fixed.

Awesome job, Pam!! When the alarm went off this morning, and all I wanted to do was hit OFF, I thought "Hell, Pam ran 100 freakin' miles...and I'm going to bail on 4??" Then I got up. Thanks for the motivation.
