I must say that is a great story, good luck with your training and hopefully you will reach your goal.

I wish you all the luck BFritz!!!

BFritz..You never seem to amazae me my friend..Def. one of my favorites on here. You need to get a tattoo saying, "Sky's the Limit"!

Thank you for the wishes, but do none of you realize how impossible and unlikely this is going to be? I want people to doubt me, I want people to think about this objectively and say "this is impossible, there's no way in **** that he'll do this," because it will only make me work that much harder.

People in my condition and people with injuries as bad as mine don't do this sort of thing.

A lot of people with no injuries and who have no special condition couldn't do this.

If anyone sees this (or even any of you) and believes how hard that I'll work but just have doubts that I'll do it because you understand how unlikely this is, please, voice it, no hard feelings.

Also, it's 5k and 10k next year (aside from the full 25 mile marathon), not 3k and 5k, so I'm working on doing the 10k.

In 1980, my sister was shot in the head 5 times with a 25 caliber hand gun, by a jealous boy friend, who then turned the gun on himself, he died, she lived! As a 15 year old boy, I watched as she struggled to live, she spent 3 months in intensive care, they done many brain surgeries on her, she lived a very long time, with no bones in the left side of her head, she was paralyzed from the wast down for awhile, her right arm is still paralyzed, she has trouble seeing , her short term memory, is terrible, she too had to learn how to walk and talk again, she now walks with a cane, and she does well for what shes been through..... I said all that to say, I have no doubt that you can reach your goal, I have seen first hand what a strong willed person can do, and for you to make it through all of that, your will to live and succeed is strong!!!! I wish you all the luck in the world, and hope for nothing but the best for you!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!:Cheerlead

I thought I was doing well for myself........... way to show me how well someone else is doing under possibly worse circumstances............. way to rain on my parade...........:Angry07: ...........




lol, I'm playing, obviously. That's an awesome story, and your sister should be an inspiration to A LOT OF PEOPLE!
