Double Digits, Baby!!!

Last Saturday I broke double digits, and did 10 miles! 10.WHOLE.MILES! Wow, never ever thought that would happen. Luckily, I had a great group of people to do it with, which makes it so much easier...

Not that it was easy, mind you. We started at Fletcher's Boat House, ran towards the Georgetown Waterfront (along the Potomac, really nice biking/running path), then turned around back to Fletcher's. That was 4 miles. The hardest part was not stopping when we got there (that was the second water stop). We ran past that another 3 miles, then back to Fletcher's for a total of 10 miles. Whew!

What a great feeling! Next Saturday, 8 miles, another 'break,' but with a good hill workout. San Francisco, here I come!

On the donation front; I have raised $1,564.80, that is 41% of my goal!

That's about all I have for now.

Peace out,
Mandi

P.S. I do have another honored teammate, Mrs. Billie Cole, I just found out she has non-hodgkens lymphoma. Please pray for her!

Mandi - tell your new honorary team member that she can overcome non-hodgkins lymphoma. My sister had it (fast-growing type too - which is BAD) and has now been in remission for almost 6 years. It's a long hard road, but she can overcome it.

They said that my sister had the worst case scenario. 98% fatality rate. It can be done. Have faith.

Thanks for the encouragement! Miss Billie is one of the sweetest people I know. She has some other health problems, and is older, but I have every hope that she will be okay!

Thanks again!
