A whole marathon? Wow, that is like two half marathons back to back! :)

Forget having an AN, this is a great achievement for anyone. Congratulations, and may your SBI surgery be wonderful.

WOW, Laura!  Incredible.  As a former Marathoner and a good friend of Gayle Barron, I know what an amazing feat that was.  Now have a great surgery and get plenty of rest -- then go back and do the Patrick and Keri thing.
Congratulations.

Hi Laura,
Hope all goes well as you're getting ready to leave.
I'm writing again on this thread because it's gotten a bit buried and i don't know if you saw all the messages from your fans!
Again, great job!

Wow, I JUST saw this thread!!!!!


THANK YOU EVERYONE!

I can't tell you how this made my day.  The impact of what's going on next week finally hit me today, and let's just say that this really helped my state of mind at the moment. 

I have been so busy this week just trying to get things on order that I haven't been around much on the forum, but I should have plenty of time to hang around after Tuesday :)  I will be sure to keep everyone updated!
