    CONGRATULATIONS! Now I wish we had some'a those animated smileys here, like the one that hands out a rose. But you had the vision to get back on your bike, so I'm sure you have the imagination to:
    [Imagine smiley handing you a rose here.]
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    Fabulous Karen
    It takes a lot of courage
    Thanks for sharing your strength with us...
    Inspiring
    *hugs*


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".
