I finished!!!  6.2 miles and it was HOT!!!   Hip Hip Hooray!!  Who would have ever thought I could do something like this??  Certainly not me.  Two years ago I probably could not have walked from Marta to the start line.

I don't have my official time, but somewhere between 1 hour and 33 minutes and 1 hour and 40 minutes.  I am thrilled with my time.

Here is a picture of my niece and I before we left this morning at 5:30am.



I am so very thankful for my WLS and all my friends on here.  I feel like anything is possible. 

Nap time now.  We are traveling home and I think I'll sleep the rest of the way.

Hope everyone has a great 4th.

Linda

Thanks Shammy.  I don't think I've ever felt the way I did when I went across the finish line.
