Last Sunday morning I made my friend walk on the beach even though it was only 40 degrees. She told me that the light house was over four miles away. I had a hard time believing her since it looked so close. I knew I could make it.
I asked her if she knew I was going to make her walk all the way and walk the pier when we got there. She said she would expect no less of me. Once I set my mind to something, I'm going to achieve it.
My friend (since kindergarten) and I were lucky enough to find someone to take a picture of both of us together, then my batteries died. Why is it that the batteries always die at the wrong time? I guess any time is bad when you don't have more.
That is the light house in the background behind my arm. We had walked quite a ways toward it when we took this picture.
In the end, we walked almost 8 miles in two hours. I could never have done even 1/8 of this when I weighed nearly 400 pounds. I was so exhausted, but very proud of this accomplishment.

Awesome pictures Sign. Congrats, not only on the 8 miles which was wonderful but to do that in 2 hours that means you were going at least 4 miles an hour. You are doing so wonderful. The beach did look a littl chilly but nice.

when i read about your accomplishments like your beach walk, i am filled with exhilaration, love, and pride for you
i am just bursting
i feel very privileged to have been witness to your journey - your transformation
i am such a fan of you and your achievements. no himalayan mountain has been so steep. no ocean so wide. this is achievement on olympic athlete scale - the thought - the intent - the training - the day after day determination - the discipline - the length of time it is taking you to get where you have chosen to go - and you are sticking to it.
you are soooooo great!
