Super excited for you! As we do our little Thanksgiving Day Lakerun we will be thinking of you crossing that finishing line in the Desert! That ain't no Turkey Trot!

Hi Linda, by the time you read this you will most likely be finished the race - what a relief! When I think of you racing out there I think of all the hours and hours and hours of training that you put into where you are now and i think of something you once said to me.... Pain is temporary, quitting is forever! I know that your quiet determination will see you thru to the end of this race. So proud of you! See you after your travels to Argentina! stay safe and have fun

Thanks for your update - sounds incredible. Looked at the scoreboard and you're doing amazing. Cheering you on through Day 3. Too bad you couldn't have a support crew with you - this one sounds a little more scenic than rural manitoba ;)
