73,920 rulers

Stacked end to end would equal 14 miles.

And that is exactly what Jenelle, Wendy, Michelle, Anne, Jennifer, Elizabeth, Jane and I completed this morning on an exceptionally beautiful and cooler July 9th morning along the C&O canal.

We began at 6:00 am and took in beautiful scenery this morning along with sightings of a black water snake, Geese and Ducks, a friendly snapping turtle who crossed our path and tons of bikers who loved to taunt us with their "on your left" warnings. One almost ran poor Anne over. We all did very well today, although for me, I must admit the last 2 miles were rather tough, as my legs and back were ready to call it a day.

Coach John reminded us that as of this run, we actually completed a half-marathon today! And, including training runs, we actually completed 26 miles from this past Sunday through today's run. 26 miles in one week. Not bad.

Thanks to your very generous donations, I was once again recognized in front of the group. I remind myself that it is you that gets the glory, and the patients at the Whitman Walker Clinic who are so very grateful for your support.

I will be running again on Tuesday and Thursday (both 45 minutes) and then it's a 7 mile recovery run next week.

Many thanks to Mr. John Wesdock for his generous donation!

Thank you for your moral support and donations in the fight against AIDS!
