hi tracy,
I have read your letter to (us). my thought is that you are pushing boundaries, pushing your boundaries. it is the highest thing we can do, aspire to do. in the past I was a long distance runner (never a marathon) and read the story of a person named patty hearst. I hope I did not tell you the story before. anyway patty was a dwarf with other physical hardships. and on the day of the boston marathon she had her marathon. it started at the starting line of the marathon. it was 26 yards. not 26 miles. and she did it! in a 1/2 hour. she trained for this. she met and exceeded her boundary, and I was ever bit as inspired by what she did as the winner of the marathon itself.
what you are doing I thing of in the same way. keep going tracy.
