Velo, hebe and Crankin, I'm happy for your victories as well and thanks for your words of support. Much of my own inspiration has come from stories from you and other women on this forum. At times when doubt over my ability to do this would creep in, I would find inspiration from someone elses personal victories and it would spur me on to have my own.

That is the beauty of this particular forum. There have been some awesome accounts of women overcoming adversity, bad luck, injuries and self doubt and great tales of triumph. Most of you will not know how much your little snippets of wisdom, humor and courage have helped me and others I'm sure.
