My computer is finally up and running. Finally!! I was going to post through my friend, Lisa, but she inexplicably couldn't open the last post I sent her so I just decided to wait until I got my computer back.
I've been training consistently. The long endurance runs are SO hard. SO hard. Last week was a 20 miler. This week (tomorrow) is a 12 and then next week is 22! 22 miles. My tendinitis has started flaring up at about 12/13 miles. Hopefully I can get that under control. After the 22 mile run, we taper way off for the three weeks prior to the marathon. And then it's the big day. I'm actually really excited about it.
I worked a fundraiser today for five and a half hours of sitting/standing in the sun. I'm sporting quite a sunburn but it was fun. We were working at the Triathlon - where people swim 2.4 miles, bicycle 112 miles (no, that's not a typo) and then run a marathon (26.2 miles). Masochists. I can't believe that anyone can do that. But they had several, several hundred contestants.
Anna. Anna is not doing well. She was able to go home after the pneumonia and she is doing one more week of antibiotics. But she's getting sick regularly - severe weakness and a myriad of intestinal problems. Yet, she'll frequently have short periods where she bounces back. She really is amazing. There is a little friend of Anna's that she has met through her own illness named Mitch. Mitch is nearing the end of his battle with cancer. His family is facing the difficult decisions that I can't possibly imagine. Please keep both of these families and these two innocent kiddos in your prayers.
