There are the pioneers who break barriers so we all advance. Then there are those that even day to day living is a horrific struggle.<br /><br />Nezzy,<br />I sure am glad that the paths were forged by the strong and made smoother for those of us that followed.<br /><br />Patty,<br />The cause for the race was truly wonderful. I am a survivor also and am amazed at the people who go above and beyond in the effort to find a cure for this awful disease.<br /><br />Sniffles and Smiles,<br />They are inspiring and the two degrees of separation was cool.Thanks for the confidence.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-55262042730964417602010-05-19T15:53:36.284-05:002010-05-19T15:53:36.284-05:00They are indeed incredible and inspiring!!

I am doing great and hope you are too.<br /><br />Kenju,<br />I have ridden a good portion of my life but would never attempt a race horse. You sound like my brother, he had one miserable experience and that was that.<br /><br />nitwit,<br />I hadn't realized you were also a pioneer for as you say, most pharmacists today are women but I remember when that was not the case.<br />Girls today don't realize today just how restricting employment opportunities were for women back in the day. Hats off to you lady.<br /><br />Blue Ridge Boomer,<br />Glad you liked it.<br /><br />oklhdan,<br />I'm sure you remember when our job choices were secretary, clerk, nurse or teacher. We have come a long way on the backs of the ones able to think outside the box we were forced to live in.<br /><br />robin,<br />Thanks robin, they impressed me too.<br /><br />Betsy,<br />While I was blown away by their original accomplishments, that they got back in athletic shape past middle age gives me hope.<br /><br />OOLOH,<br />You are so right. Once we peak and start the slippery slope of aging, things fall apart really quickly. <br />All we can do is laugh at our selves and hunt for the asprin bottle.<br /><br />Olga,<br />Kind of the way I felt.<br /><br />marylee,<br />Fortunately, I let it download while I slept. It was worth it. <br />Their courage to tackle this one more race, really impressed me. It took months and a ton of work for just 2 minutes.<br /><br />Amber Star,<br />There was only about a 5 minute piece but it was well done. I am glad they were acknowledged on national TV.<br />I find getting in shape for a 30 minute walk is about my limit.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-10422041740707835652010-05-18T18:48:43.650-05:002010-05-18T18:48:43.650-05:00I had no idea about the women jockeys.

When I entered the workforce I was given less salary, passed over for for promotions, and intelligence insulted by male and female customers who said "I'd just rather a man fill my prescriptions!" I had a fiery friend who had a sexually tainted retort for such comments I cannot put in print. <br /><br />Today there are more women pharmacists than men, I am told.NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-71801133114373910172010-05-18T07:04:40.611-05:002010-05-18T07:04:40.611-05:00I have to applaud them for even trying.
