| Congratulations, Maureen! So glad to hear you did well and that you had fun in NYC. Come again! That was sad about Ryan Shay. He came from a town pretty close to where I live, so his death was very much in the news here. | |

| That's great Maureen. Congratulations! If you ask me, there is nothing like shopping for Christmas in New York.
Glad you're back.

| Congratulations Maureen!!!You are quite the inspiration! That is an amAzing feat and you make us all proud! You can be very proud of yourself, not only for an awesome running time, but just for setting your mind to doing something so huge. I'm glad you had a such a good time, and I'm very pleased that you felt a wam welcome from the American people. I had heard about Ryan Shay...I can imagine how that affected everyone running and I'm sure so many were running in honor of him. What a sad tragedy. One question...were you running with any famous people, that you know of? Just curious! “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

| Yeah, I heard that too! I wonder if she had body-guards disguised as runners to protect her from mobs or crazy fans. :think: | |

One question...were you running with any famous people, that you know of? Just curious! No one that I knew personally, Amy, but as with most big marathons nowadays there were quite a few celebrities running the race. Thanks again, everyone, for your kind words.

| Subject: Another Marathon Completed! Tue May 06, 2008 7:27 am | |
| Just thought I'd let you all know I took part in and finished my third Marathon yesterday. It's the second Belfast City Marathon I've done and I did the New York one in November. It was a good day for the run, slightly overcast, though I still managed to get a bit of sun on the parts I missed with the sunscreen! I knocked 26 minutes off my time compared to last year, finishing in 4hours, 4 mins and 30 secs! My four running partners and I managed to raise over £1,000 (approx $2,000) for Womens Aid, a charity that deals with physically and mentally abused women, a cause which many of you know is very dear to my heart. My body is sore all over today but the accomplishment of achieving another medal for my collection makes it all worth while.

| Great job Maureen!
The last time I ran was out to the shed and I was winded before I left the porch. | |
