I think about my mother, who started running in her 50s and kept it up into her 80s. You are an incredible inspiration! Thinking of the dedication and hard work it must take to be a record-breaking swimmer fills me with admiration for you. I'm 65 and I know that I, too, can accomplish something meaningful. You help me see that!<br /><br />Sue Hubley<br />PortlandSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00845350978462895661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066703985312804059.post-77106829239148544622011-08-30T11:21:19.212-04:002011-08-30T11:21:19.212-04:00Hi Patty, I am so proud of your accomplishments.

We followed your blog and were bummed for you when you were forced to quit due to the currents. We returned to Pine Point and wondered if you were ever able to try again. This morning I heard your interview on NPR - what a nice surprise!!!

Sounds like they gave you some great challenges AND some more great stories to tell! Congratulations! Hope you're feeling well. Be in touch.

Congratulations over and over and over. I've had a lot of people tell me to tell you that was one heck of a swim. Rest up now and take a breather.
