Well written, Ninette, a diamond shape just as it should be. Using "end" instead of "finish" made the shape just right, Sara. You're creative and a smart one too. A poet friend down the hall, Bill

Win or lose the joy is completing it and never giving up, knowing we gave it our best shot. Tom

I agree...that's the way I felt after every race I ran...just glad for the opportunity to run...it was quite a journey. Sara
