I'm so glad you shared your experiences in the race, b/c I too had many touching moments while running the race, and I too, had to choke back the tears. I was sooo appreciative of all the well wishers, and so impressed with the runners of all types and their running outfits, such a fun race. Thanks for how much you've inspired so many of us to learn to looove running -- what a leader you are . . . now about the self-doubt, its really time to see and believe in the amazing woman we see -- and love "just as you are"!!!
