Well as some of you know, today (Aug. 14th, 2005) was a very hot day here in Maryland. My team (Capital Racing) and I had a skating race today. The heat index passed 100 degrees outside. The race was a 26 mile marathon. Those who know me and know how I skate probably know that this is NOT my kind of skating. But, with lots of heat management and energy conservation, I completed the marathon. And, yes you guessed it. I was the last to finish. I spent 2:43:19 secs. on the course. That was a lot of time to think about things in my life and I am appreciative for the experience. After suffering heat exhaustion, muscle cramps, one serious tan, among other things, I am getting back to feeling better. I am amazed at what people can do with the right motivation, even when they are not prepared for it at all. Personal Milestones…
