lap 6 was tough. about 3:20. lots of ups and Downs. josh had to break out the tylenol to keep her from sitting down. she is very tired and getting emotional. I told her about all the comments and well wishes on the blog and she started crying. Dana coming out to see her was special. too. she is still eating solid food and drinking plenty. she left quickly to start lap 7 with Monique.

go shannon go!!!! Tell her we love her and she's doing great! She's my inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome job! Just take it easy and the race is in the bag.
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see her smile when I surprised her at 7:45pm as she came in to the post at the bridge on Ebenezer. Anthony, I have a few photos to upload. Can you tell me how to do it, or send me your email, and I'll send them to you to upload? Shannon is doing so great!!!
ReplyDeleteIt just occurred to me that she's been running longer than I've been out of bed today. (And, I've got three little kids!) Simply amazing. Go, go, go, Shannon! Left foot, right foot, feet, feet, feet!
ReplyDeleteCharley is next to me as I type this. And, he's tearing the stuffing out of one of his toys. I'm pretty sure that means "your awesome" in dog behavior.
As we get ready for our race in the morning we are thinking of the racers. Having left for lap 7 smiling is great news. You go girl. Can't wait for the morning edition.
ReplyDeleteAwesome time. Keep up the good work, Shannon! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteShannon - we love you! You rock. Almost there.

ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing person, and I'm proud of your performance, your persaverence and you. It's 9:30 p.m. in Milwaukee, and I just got back from Chicago. It just struck me that today you have run farther than I've driven. Congratulations. I love you.
wow Shannon, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteGo Shannon! I'm worn out herecin San Diego, but have told me friend (we leaving for dinner soon) that we can sleep until you finish. Go go go!
