I did it!
Originally uploaded by Yarnagogo Rachael
It was soooo awesome and no blisters! But internet has been down at our house for two days so I don't know my time (around 3:30) and I haven't been able to draw the sock winner! (All the entrants are stored in my gmail which would be painful to sort on a blackberry.) So drawing will be Monday or Tuesday.
Thank you, all. It meant so much to me, carrying Mom's name across the finish line. More to follow soon. Xoxox

You know, with all of you darned knitbloggers (I used to be one, remember?) getting all fit and healthy and running about like loons and looking so damned good while doing it, I'm almost (*almost*) tempted to get me some shoes and frappé la rue, you know?
Almost.
(ps, congrats!)

Awesome! I am so glad you did it!
And, you inspired me to quit sugar again (well, except for the NATURAL sugar in wine!) and I feel so much better.
Good job on the run!
