HI, Interesting I sent a post earlier today but it didn't post. I saw you on the video and saw your knee wrapped. I hope it is nothing to serious. One of you fellow racers, Elizabeth Tod is a local . I work with a friend of hers - Steve Barr. Great accomplishment! Looking forward to the stories... Love Mom

I am so glad you are managing to enjoy the views even while putting your body to the test! You got this gorgeous. I can only imagine how great dinner must taste after all of that running. Hopefully you are getting the emails sent through the site but if not, just know I and the family, friends etc. are all cheering you on from afar. Love you honey!

HI, I got up during the night to see how you were doing. Great job. I see you are 10th of women overall. You are in the video for the long march. Saw your knee was wrapped. Hope it's ok. You've got tremendous perseverance; very inspiring. It keeps me going . :) Love, Mom

My comment yesterday didn't seem to make it. Congrats! Most Awesome!! We look forward to the pictures . From what you described it is much more dramatic than Wadi Rum and the Sahara. Who knew the desert was so spectacular. Maybe you need to grab some souvenir sand at the end :). Very glad your leg is holding up. Take care. Hugs and Kisses.
