YES!!! 10 MILES!!!!!
I DID IT!!!! 10 miles in 3 hours and 15 minutes - that's a 20 minute/mile pace! That's 3 miles per hour! My feet are fine - a little bit tender in spots - but no blisters...I was a little concerned at the 6th mile - I rolled an ankle a little on uneven sidewalk - but kept going and it worked itself out. I didn't get winded - last year - since I was still smoking - I was huffing and puffing and telling my 10 year old nephew to slow down - we finished our five miles in 2.5 hours! It really was amazing - it felt good! A WONDERFUL way to spend my 11th lunaversary!! And to make it even sweeter - I raised over $300 to help fight MS (multiple sclerosis). Thank you all for encouraging me to try it...you were right - I did it! _________________

Dear Mary,
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! I knew you could do it.
I also want to thank you for raising $300 for MS. We have two family members who are afflicted with this terrible disease; one is now wheel-chair bound, the other was diagnosed only about 3 years ago. Research will, someday, find a cure and you've aided in the research cost. God bless you. _________________
