I did it!
Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments - it means a lot to come here and know that everyone is so supportive. These past 2 years have been a wild ride and it was made so much better by having each of you as support. Thanks!!! 
Someone asked what's up next for me - I've got tons of things planned for Sept - I have a 6 hour race Sept 6, I'll be doing a 100 mile bike ride in Moab (all in one day!) with my amazing trainer and friend Jari over Labor Day Weekend and then an entire week at the end of Sept. in Moab where I'll be learning how to canyoneer, do some river kayaking and spend more time on my bike as well as provide support for a team in a 4 day race. I've also got a couple of 14ers I'm planning on hiking, so I guess the adventure continues!
Now if I could just make summer last longer, I would be happy.
