You're darn right I did it.................................

I showed up at the start line with an open mind, not sure if I would run or walk, just sure I would cover the distance somehow. And I ran the full five miles with (my) Mister. He actually slowed me down (good thing he's cute) a bit, but we finished in just over an hour. Good job honey!

Had someone snap this action shot of us during the race for proof (not that there is really any doubt to those that know me) that I am a crazy runner.
In the end, I literally dragged (my) Mister over the finish line with my good arm, he nearly collapsed, doc was called, but he is fine. He just gave it everything he had and needed a little sugar back in his system. But I LOVED it when we were coming in and they called out our names together. Yes it was so worth the discomfort in my arm. We will be victorious in the marathon as well.

You had to call the doctor for him? Holy cow, he must love you a lot!! :)

Glad you got to do this.

You can beat me with one arm tied... hee hee!!

Hang in there, hope you get good news at the doc for your arm.

Actually when he slumped at the finish line, they insisted he see the doctor. I told him to walk it off. Ya! He loves me that much!

I see the orthopod tomorrow PM so then we should know exactly what we are dealing with.
