It is purely coincidence that it was 6 years ago today that I went in for my little procedure for prostate cancer. To me, this run is sort of a spiritual reminder of how lucky I was to have a second shot at life." ------ Aw, Agg. It really IS. <br /><br /><br />"Got to see my parents and brother around mile 6. Was nice of them to fight the traffic/crowds to cheer me on.

That's impressive. <br /><br />Kudos, to you my friend. Well done!

Running the half-marathon ...I knew you could do it! Running the half-marathon is a great annual reminder of how fortunate you are and how much more you've embraced life since your cancer surgery. I'm impressed, especially considering how little you say you trained for this one. <br /><br />Looks like it was a regular party in the area while you runners ran. Fun stuff! I'm so glad the weather cooperated and you had such a good day for it.

Means a lot coming from a couple of serious hoofers like you guys. <br /><br />Lotta - I've been running off and on for various reasons for a while.

I, personally, find that very inspirational. <br />I'd say 6 is the perfect number of halfs to have under your belt. Then again, seven's a pretty lucky number. If you need some luck, that is.<br />Congrats once again, Agg! It's an incredible accomplishment!

Glad the weather was so accomodating! <br /><br />And hey, no one would balk if you decide on not seven. You're in charge. I'm sure there's still some 10k's and 5k's around your neck of the woods for you to get your game on - with or without the big furry costume!<br /><br />Congrats again, another good 13.1 on the shooz!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853360875281742784noreply@blogger.com
