Congratulations! Glad you enjoyed this race. It certainly looks like a pretty course. What a nice story about the girl on crutches--- puts things in perspective for the rest of us!

Congratulations, Robert! You did great and I'm glad that you were offered a moment to appreciate this lady's determination and courage. You were given two healthy legs and you show your gratitude every time you're out there running. This lady rocks, and so do you! Thanks for the great pics!

Congratulations on a nice run, Robert! That really looks like a great place to run a race. I love going over bridges that are normally packed with cars (the Gate River Run 15K in Jacksonville, FL comes to mind).
Kudos for your appreciation for the girl with crutches. Things like that make us appreciate what we have, as mundane as it sometimes seems to be.
