Congratulations on your finish. Setting the goal for yourself and following through with all the training must have also been hugely satisfying.

It sounds like you all had a great weekend.

It sounds like you had a great time, and I'm glad you had a "joyful" marathon experience. Wear that Tiffany necklace with pride!!

Sometimes going "internal" helps ground us - to me, your report carried such emotion. Enjoy the memories, and sport your well-deserved Tiffany's bling with pride!!

Wow, wow, wow! Truly amazing! Loved your report.

We're going to try this new thing called jogging. Or maybe it's yogging-with a silent "j". Apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It's supposed to be wild.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. 8)
If all that you read is everything you believe then let go, then let go, then let go.

Nothing will change if you never choose.
