CHI '08

wow whata weekend! it was quite the time with all the 'chi runners'...
so very proud of them for setting out to and accomplishing this goal!
bethany, christa, gabe, hannah, jesse, michael & shalene...
26.2 in scorching heat...each overcoming own battles--of the body & mind but 
definitely not spirit!
now for this lil gurl named shalene...
she was dehydrated & heat exhausted, my heart pulled me to the streets around mile 20...
i hopped in to encourage her and we ended up running the last miles of the race hand-in-hand.
the conditions got the best of 13,000 runners who dropped out (did i mention 89 degrees?)
but shalene pressed on to finish!

if anyone wants to borrow my running outfit...just lmk...
the look of determination...                                                                                                 ...the look of success!

                                                                      of a job well done...






and the look of reward!!
