Winter, it seems, is back with a vengeance.

Paul is a good friend of mine and I really wanted to support all the people who have put together this race. It's a big deal for Pensacola to have this. I wasn't looking forward to calling (Paul) and telling him I couldn't run, but there really was no other alternative. I had to do it.

I thought I would be able recover enough to go (Sunday), but I just can't do it. It's disappointing.

It's been very difficult dealing with something like this. This is just a new challenge for me.

To me, running a marathon is one of the ultimate challenges in sport. And for her to do it that many times, wow, she is a strong person. She knows her body, and she knows what she is capable of doing.

Avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
