Race Pictures

Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments. Words can't express how much they mean to me. The misery of the marathon has faded and is replaced by pride in finishing. Yeah! Here are some pictures of Grandma's Marathon that my husband took. They capture the spirit of the race. Juls, let me know if you want any and I'll e-mail the files to you.
