February 25th: Today we were scheduled for a 13 mile run, but it ended up looking a little more like 12.8 on the Google Earth gps measurements. It was nice to run away from the hills and I think most of the Team felt the same way- in combination with running lower mileage than the previous week, this was a very pleasant training session.
We had a great dedication by Dave Tierney and his family as they spoke about Dave's father, Chuck, who passed away after a long battle with prostrate cancer. Dave has been such a help to the Team with organizing and working the water stations for us, despite the difficult time he has been through. I didn't realize that on TOP of the compartment syndrome surgery he had a few months ago, that he was dealing with his father's illness at the same time.
We are working at organizing our fundraising party next Thursday and hope everything goes well. It has been amazing to get such positive responses from the donors who contributed to raffles and from our friends who have contributed their artwork, time and talents.

Hi Marie! Can't wait to hear all about your fundraising party! Please post photos! Would also love to see photos of the course and of you and Tim running -- might inspire more dontations! Do you have a digital camera?
Keep up the good work. Julie
Will try for photos at the fundraiser. It's hard to take photos during our team runs, though, due to the long course. Maybe someone can take one for us if I give the camera to a volunteer working at the water stops. Will see what I can do.-M
