Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Congratulations Honey!!!! To Both of you!!!! You Guys are awesome!!!! Big Hugs Caryl I did it!!! I completed 13.1 miles in 3 hours and 40 minutes!! Which means I did in in the required time limit. Barely, but I did it!!! At about mile 11.5, my right leg really started to hurt. It was weird, it actually felt ok when I was running but when I took my walk breaks...I could barely walk. It was really amazing. My program rep Kara who had to step down about two months ago was there. She had been such a source of strength for me...always believing in me. She actually stayed at the finish line to greet me when I crossed. She hugged me and said see I told you you would do it. At that point, I lost it....I cried so much from sheer happiness that I indeed had succeeded in my goal. I trained hard for six months, I never gave up, I gave it everything I had and OMG I DID IT!!!Im really sore right now. But as soon as I get the pictures I will post them.HugglesPS: Francisco, Im so glad I found you before the race began... I was telling my pace group that I couldnt do it until I got my hug from you and I got it just in time!!! You are awesome!!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Congratulations ! I was in SF on Wednesday, and about 7pm, I saw many people, probably about a hundred or so, running in groups between the ferry building and pier 39. It was so great to see, and i thought to myself, i wanna do that one day. You and Francisco have been such an inspiration! So -- when is your next one? LOL ( I heard marathons are like tattoos - once you have one - you want more Daunnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Congrats . I always knew you could and would complete the race. Thats what it is all about. Starting something and seeing it through to the end. I am so proud of you. Anything you want to do, you can do it and I hope this was a renewed belief and strength in because we all knew and believed in you. Francisco and , the bond that the two of you have is awesome. This surgery is far more than just about weight loss but a journey. Its about life's lessons, its about pain, sweat and tears. Its about truth and faith. Its about being vulnerable and feeling. Its about giving and taking but more importantly, its about courage, strength and LOVE. I am so very proud of both of you and pray that God continues to groom you for your journeys that are ahead. Never give up or in. Be proud of yourselves and what you have achieved but more importantly, who you have become. Love ya both dearly. I am truly blessed that I have cometo know you. Maybe some day I will get to meet you in person Francisco. I have been fortunate to have already met who is truly beautiful! Take care, get some rest and continue to love yourselves. I am so proud of both of you. With big emotions...Pam Marsh --- Diane Duenas brendadiane64@...> wrote: > I did it!!!

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 OMG Pam!!! You keep making me cry!!!! Thank you so much for your beautiful words. I am so full of emotion today I can barely keep them contained. Im really really sore today and thought about taking the day off work, but alas I have no subs so I will go in but take it easy!! LOL Francisco is a beautiful person. His entire being just radiates with his loving heart. I saw him just seconds before the start of the race. I was searching and searching for him. It wouldnt have been the same without him seeing me off. I got my big hug and we can do its and then we were off. I saw him a couple more times during the run and his encouragement kept me going. He did so well. Finished in 2 hrs 40 min!!! Can you believe it Francisco, we are marathon finishers!!!!! How about the full next year!!! Thanks again Pam...you are awesome!! Huggles > > > I did it!!!
