The pics and your description reminde...Great recap! The pics and your description reminded me of the Dipsea Trail Run that I just read about in RW (June). Yours was a much further distance, but the challenges sound similar. When I read about Dipsea, I thought, "I'd like to do that someday, before I leave this earth." Then, I saw the quote at the very end of your moving (no pun intended!) post. Who knows? Maybe this over 40, diabetic gal will get there eventually?? :) <br /><br />Thanks for being an inspiration, including the GU report. LOL Seems that happens to many. I personally prefer Luna Moons... much easier on the stomach. <br /><br />Oh, and here's a note of irony: just today I tweeted, "Who needs stilettos when you've got running shoes?!" And then I found your blog... The universe works in mysterious ways. :) <br /><br />HUGS from Orlando! Oh, and AZ is a beautiful state.. have driven through a few times as a former CA resident.RobinLKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14012550439760563820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-6689848914196931722010-05-06T11:19:43.276-07:002010-05-06T11:19:43.276-07:00Congrats!!!
