Finishing Strong

Yeah!
I ran my second Ft Collins marathon on Sunday! I dropped 15 minutes off my time from last year and ran it in 3:57. Not too bad, if I just drop 17 more I'll qualify for Boston... Really, I felt so much better this time around. Even in those last miles when it was difficult it doesn't compare to the first time! We'll have to see what is next.

My summer news: I will be going to Wyoming for a month to become a Wilderness EMT. I am excited that I have the opportunity to do this. It will be really good but I know the course will be pretty intense as well. This seemed like a very strategic time to go ahead and take the course.

Advance is officially over... kind of crazy they have finished their time here with us and are all headed out for their summer trips this week. It has been a good first year and I think we have some good input on how to continue to improve the program. We still need students for next class.

Drew's birthday was on Tuesday! He did get to call so I wished a wonderful birthday! He is doing well. He recently was helping out with a recruiting drive for the Iraqi army. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.
