By the way, I was 10 minutes faster than when I entered this race last year.

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

Monica, That is awesome. Good for you, you are an inspiration to us all. It's amazing what we can do with our new life and tool that we have.
I would love to do these walks. I know I will one day as soon as we find out what is causing my shortness of breath. You go girl.
Hugs & Love,

Karen
