I finally had a good run - the first in a week. I've been running just, for some reason, they haven't felt like good runs. Until today. It's funny, I could tell during the first mile that today's run was going to be one of those that energize you and make you look forward to the next one. I was vigilant about drinking water today and ate a Power Bar about an hour/hour and a half before my run. That seems to work best for me. I remember one of our trainers talking about how funny runners are in that once they find something that works, they never try anything else. I can see that now.

Also, the most amazing thing happened after my run today and was the main reason I rushed to post. I was wearing my Team in Training shirt and a woman called to me and came over asking if I was running for TNT this year. I told her that I was and she told me about her experience running for TNT two years ago. She was so nice and told me all about her experience and how much it meant to her. Her words alone were such an inspiration that I already thought it a blessing to have met her and then, she gave me a $100 donation!! I thought that was so amazing. What an unbelievably nice person.

Our total now is $2365. We're getting there!! I'll be sending out update letters soon. Hopefully, this week.
