From Bruce's site:
Well, I don't know how I feel. I thought I would cry and be all
emotional but I feel good and I really believed I could do this.
Sometimes at the end of a hard day, I worried I would not be able
to get up in the morning but by the graces of God I was able to
run every day. I will have more tomorrow after I get my head together.
I want to thank everyone who helped me and I will never forget them.
Thanks for your E-mails as they inspired me each day. If you think
you can do something: you probably can. Go for your dreams no matter
what they may be.
