Ok friends and family. It's T- 36 hours till I and a team of awesome woman run over the Gran Teton's. Please if you feel so inclined donate as we run over the top of 180 miles of gorgeous country. We will run for 36 hours with out sleep, with the bears and big foot. ;) The donation button can be found on the right side of the blog.
We will be so excited to see the grand total as we cross the finish line into grand teton village on Saturday evening. Every dollar counts and no donation to small. (trust me we'll feel every mile as it counts too.) Thank you to everyone and please pass this on where you can. <3

Holy Cow, I did IT...

and am thinking we will be forming a half marathon team in the future!!
I ran my first half marathon on Saturday. It was HARD, and not that much fun...But could be convinced to do it again. I am even thinking it would be fun to extend our 5k/10k to include a half next year. Any takers? ;)
