Have a blast! I bet you won't even notice the cold after the start!

I am thinking now
of grief, and of getting past it;
I feel my boots
trying to leave the ground,
I feel my heart
pumping hard. I want
to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings.

DS1 and I did it together, and we finished it mostly walking/jogging. However...it was basically entirely in the woods! So we're talking..uneven surfaces, ruts, mud, leaves...sand (!). You name it....oh yeah and a few deer!
At one point....clearly DS & I were "last" but DS said it's OK if we're last because it's not about winning it's about having fun and finishing it...and we ARE having fun, mom!" But I want to know who all the people were that started behind us....but never passed us....but we were definitely last!
Oh well...we did it, i can say I did it..and we can only improve from here!
BTW the ben & jerry's samples at the end were really good!
