I crossed the finish line!!


Well, there's a first and a last time for everything...and I just accomplished both. On Saturday, I ran the Country Music 1/2-Marathon in Nashville and finished in 2 hours, 50 minutes. I actually ran the first 8 miles without having to walk! In the photo above, you see me with my brother Bill, who managed to finish in 2 hours, 56 minutes with a foot injury (he sprained his foot in mile 10), and my sister-in-law Helen, who cross the line in 3-1/2 hours. I was proud of all of us. But from now on, I think a 10K is plenty. I fact, I fel good knowing that I can comfortably run 6.2 miles. And thank God for the I-Pod!! I never would have made it to the finish line without it!!!
