A Weekend to Smile About

Two weeks ago, at this moment, we ran. We won't forget. I continue to have moments of sadness, yet each day I celebrate my life. Sleeping is still tough as I'm sprinting and hearing screaming and yelling and loud bangs.
This weekend was one that brought a lot of smiling, laughing, eating, drinking and RACING!!
Just LOOK at my pictures, as I'm surrounded by wonderful people who are doing the best they can and bringing me joy.
The Newport 10 miler was fabulous! Started and finished at Fort Adams State Park. What a great course, people, support, and spread. I'm so happy to meet Amy, Michelle, and Samantha from various blogs (Running with Attitude-Michelle, Running Escapades-Amy, and Running with Cupcakes-Samantha). But the best, running with Nancy (Living the Dream).

Time: 1:31:47
Pace 9:11
Div....yucky    Overall: 547/1080
I'll take it!

It's time to celebrate, but WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
I will walk/run down Boylston St, but not today.
Cheers:)

Me goofing around with my new toy (thank you Amy!!) on Bowen's Wharf, Newport, a weighted sailor's knot.
Anyone know the type??
Finish with pride!
Bloggers!
On our way....plus back of my Boston Quick Chick shirt.(From 2002 Boston Marathon).
