30:46

Today was the Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure, 5K run. Herself valiantly pinned on her number, attached an "In Memory of Aunt Bernice" sign, and lined up with the horde. She oddly felt near tears two minutes before the race began, but once she was up and running, she let go of all thought and listened to her music and ran. She was not anywhere near the fastest - 40th out of 62 in her age bracket - but she ran the whole way, and surpassed her secret goal of covering the distance in under 35 minutes. At 30 minutes and 46 seconds, she crossed the finish line.

Never in any of her dreams did she imagine such a feat would be possible for her. Proof that miracles can happen, and do happen.

Brava.
