My first Relay Race

Today I participated in my first relay race. It was the Ocean to Sound Relay race - 50 miles total. My leg was 6 miles. My official finishing time was 62.82 (10.47 minute miles). I am sooooo proud of my self and impressed with my time. I was so nervous. But I did it!!! It was a little emotional at the end ... I was teary-eyed, thinking 104 pounds ago ...this would not have been possible. Thank you GOD! Today is another one of those days - where I am so thankful that I made the decision to have WLS! It has changed my life.  Today I personally raise $535.00 (thank you if you made a donation for me  ) to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma society and I feel proud to have done that.  I actually was a participant in a relay race!!!! It goes to show you when you put your mind to something YOU CAN DO IT!  Be  d*e*t*e*r*m*i*n*e*d* This is me about 5.5 miles into my leg, only 1/2 mile to go! Challenge your self ...  I bet you will be amazed at what you can accomplish! hugs, Britt

How amazing!!! You are an inspiration to me!! I have no desire to run anywhere  but this time next year my sisters (& possibly sil) & I will be walking in the Jimmy Fund Walk in Boston to benefit Cancer Research. We are doing it to honor our mom!! They walk the Boston Marathon route!! I told them I wanted to do it & walk the half-route of 13-something miles & then the following year we go for the whole she-bang!!!! Your accomplishment will remind me that it is possible!!!  Congrats!!!!! Cece
