I was telling my friends back here in Boston that this was the worst weather conditions I have ever run in. I'll be running the Boston marathon next week. After surviving Gasparilla, I feel I can survive any marathon. Grats to you!! Hi Denise,

I too ran that marathon, my number is 14519. I was telling my friends back here in Boston that this was the worst weather conditions I have ever run in.

I’ll be running the Boston marathon next week. After surviving Gasparilla, I feel I can survive any marathon.

Grats to you!!

I was out there with you through that mess. This was my first marathon. It took me a year to train for this run and was not going to give up. It was defenitely brutal. My shoes were soaked and I had a blister on the bottom of my right foot. I finished at 4:55 so you and I must have passed each other a few times. I'm glad you stuck with it. Great job !!!

Way to go. Great to meet you. I too beat my Disney time - what an awesome feeling that is. Hope to see you at another race soon. Hey Denise! Way to go. Great to meet you.

Somehow in my tired running fog, I remembered your website and googled you when I got back. Sorry to hear that the last few miles were so tough but those kinds of runs only make us stronger! Great job on the finish. My first marathon was a 5:22 time so your 5:09 is really great! I slowed down a bit after you stopped at the port a pot; wanted to stay with you if possible. Looked for you all the way to the end but just didn't see you. I hooked up with a young guy for the last 2 miles and we really helped each other pull through. I actually sprinted the last 1/8 mile or so as I was determined to come in under 5:00 this time. It was great chatting with you; my best mile of the whole race was the mile that we hooked up; a 9:41 mm. Thanks! I may do it again next year so perhaps we could run together if you have any plans of doing it again!!! Hello Denise,

BTW, nice medal! I give you a lot of credit running in the 30s and wind and being from Florida is not easy. I'll be there this weekend for the Disney Princess Half but the weather should be much better. I'm so happy that you like my display rack it's just a curtain rod I picked up at Wal-mart and couple oversized cup hooks that i screwed in right to the wall. It works great plus it expands the more medals you have and you can always move them around. I would be honored if you link to my page. Awesome job!! BTW, nice medal!
