Hi everyone...
Marie - thanks for the cheers, they mean more than you know.
Islandgirl - thanks for your kind words. I decided I could run a marathon and joined a training team to help with motivation and a good training plan. As nike says - just do it. You will surprise yourself. Don't sell yourself short. The team I train with is around a thousand strong - all different ages and abilities. Check your local running/walking organizations.
ItsIronic - that in an ant farm, them fellas don't farm anything. Always good to see/hear from a fellow Ash Kicker - proud we are. Congratulations to you too!
Josie - thanks, as always, for all you do. And thanks for reminding me to reward - I deserve one. ;)
Windy - I'm glad you have made a good reason to celebrate a tragic day. I started right where you are. C'mon and catch up - you can do it. Never doubt it.
AlleyAnn - you know, I had trouble sometimes feeling short of breath at times. It seemed to very gradually subside and I haven't noticed really being bothered with that problem w/in the past 2 months or so, perhaps you'll find the same to be true. Thanks for saying hi - it's nice to see you too.
Gonnadoit! - you've got the right attitude, for sure. Just keep doin' it!
Christine - hi, friend - you're lookin' great at 6 months. I'm proud of you - you've made it look easy. No hurries, no worries, indeed. The future Mrs. Fish is gonna have to be fast if she's gonna keep up with me... j/k I'm more a subscriber of the tortoise philosophy.
Mr Ed - what can I say, ol' boy. Neigh. And by 'Neigh', I mean, will do, will do. Thanks. I bet you'd make a good marathoner, what with 4 legs and all. Taker easy, pardner - giddyup!
Free - that's a great name. Thanks for your words.
as always...
keep fightin' the good fight - fish :)
