OSU!! i'll be looking for you in the results!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068075461682317002.post-32295372854344143552009-05-14T18:29:00.000-04:002009-05-14T18:29:00.000-04:00Hi Bob,

Think of all you've accomplished in the past two years! It is difficult enough for anyone to get as far as you did, and to have to do it all over again -- in only two years -- is amazing. I'm still slowly picking myself up from a leg injury 1.5 years ago. Press on, keep training; you will make it.<br /><br />--JenniferJennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068075461682317002.post-43896728413010334642009-05-09T11:30:00.000-04:002009-05-09T11:30:00.000-04:00Thanks for the support, Elizabeth--I appreciate it...Thanks for the support, Elizabeth--I appreciate it.<br /><br />And thanks also Littlefair.Bob Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15465832932322450884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068075461682317002.post-22400121809975193242009-05-08T09:23:00.000-04:002009-05-08T09:23:00.000-04:00Good luck Bob!Good luck Bob!Littlefairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246280876114510291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068075461682317002.post-26409482424216393782009-05-07T09:31:00.000-04:002009-05-07T09:31:00.000-04:00Bob,
