Proactive good luck to Pea

#1 Post by Bob78164 » Sun Nov 07, 2010 1:01 am

No mere wall can stop our Pea. Enjoy! And if someone could post a link we can use to follow her progress, I'm sure that will be appreciated. --Bob

Thanks. That Web site doesn't appear to be responsive -- I guess they don't have enough bandwidth to handle the interest. --Bob

Chilean miner Edison Pena finished in 5:40:51. Apparently Pea's training methods were more effective than being trapped in a mine.

Congrats, Pea!

But she's been trapped in Florida.

Here she is at about mile 12. Still looking strong. I don't know how she does it in those shoes.

I have a photo of her from behind at about mile 23! Will try to post it later.

My friend Liz and I walked from the Marriott Marquis at 46th & Broadway to 96th & 1st to see her. I probably won't be able to move tomorrow!

Weather couldn"t have been more perfect.

I wanted to cheer and wave while she could see us. So I snapped the photo as she passed by

It was more than 50 blocks actually. I'm serious, I probably won't be able to move
tomorrow. It's true, though. We walked from the hotel to our assigned spot to
see Peacock.

Maybe you did Gramps, but not me!!
Perhaps a couple of Advil might be in order, though.
