Well, I ran the 20 miler. I think that makes it official: I'm a runner! Hard to believe huh? Unfortunately, I did something to my knee mid run and I have to go to the Dr today to get it looked at. Hopefully its nothing, I will complete my marathon!! Even if its on one leg! :-)
I only have about $10 left to raise to hit my goal. If I do a couple more fundraisers and get to +$500, there are incentives... a cool TNT hat, etc. I'm tempted... We'll see how good I do selling beads at the K-State football game! Ya never know how generous people will be in Aggieville after a Wildcat Victory!!
This weekend, I'll be manning The Salvation Army booth at the Kansas State Fair. Which means Pete and I head to Wichita to stay at Hotel Nanny and Poppy. I've never done the fair thing before, so I guess it could be interesting. I also plan to work and visit donors in Humboldt, Neodesha, Benedict, Altoona and Iola, Kansas. I'm sure those are all bustling metropolises! Seriously though, I'm loving my job. I have met some of the most interesting people who are generous and selfless and have great stories to tell. It keeps things fun!
Now that the race is less than two months away and its officially post-Labor Day/Fall, I want to pick my next race. Katie and I want to do a half... maybe Gobbler Grind. Any suggestions would be great! Especially if it means I get to steal my brother's Grinch costume and run with Pete!! ;-)

there aren't a lot of races around here after gobbler grind.. but the groundhog run is one i think everyone should experience at least once.
there's a 5K and 10K option, running underground in quasi-caves. its... interesting. to say the least!
anyway, good luck at Nike. its a beautiful course. and of course... that necklace = priceless!
