Hi all! Just wanted to give a quick update on Anna (since many of you have asked). She turns 4 later this month and is very excited. She's having a Dora birthday party after her horse therapy session that morning. I got her a shadow-box to display her medal, bib and pictures in from her first race. She can hang it in her room. AND, I got her signed up to "run" the Youth Run in St. Louis the day before I run my first marathon. She's going to be doing a kid's 50 yard dash this time. This should be a flat course so she can do it all by herself without anyone pushing her wheelchair. She's already started her training, which includes racing down the hallways at our house and the aisles at Wal-Mart. We really need to work on stopping at this point...she thinks it's hysterical to ram into people to stop herself. Wink

All in due time. Sara

If she's ever up this way, that qualifies her to drive in Boston. Thanks for the update Sara, can't wait for Anna's race report (oh, and your little race too Big grin

If you check her blog, you'll find that she's a very busy attorney. But if we keep bumping this up, she's bound to see it eventually. Smile
