We did it!
Its finally over! We just wanted to let everyone know that it was a great morning...perfect weather...and everyone ran and completed the race! Thank you for all of your prayers, phone calls, and facebook messages...and, thank you to everyone who donated to build a clinic in El Chonco! We'll have some great pictures and video up later, but for now we're spending some time in the hotel hot tub and then going out for some hot wings and pizza - the greasier, the better!

We're here!
We made it to Tupelo! We picked up our race packets, studied the map of tomorrow's run (flat & beautiful landscape), and now we're relaxing at our hotel. Some of us are more anxious than others (see Sabrina in bottom video - she already has her clothes set out!) Soon, we'll be eating lots of pasta at Olive Garden and then an early bed time. We'll have lots to report on tomorrow - if we're still alive. Keep us in your prayers and enjoy the pictures & video below!
A special thanks to Joey McGinn in Birmingham - he took care of us last night!

Mississippi Here We Come!
We're all packed up and ready to go! We'll be heading out of Buford this afternoon, making an overnight stop in Birmingham to stay with friends, and then arriving in Tupelo tomorrow afternoon. The marathon starts at 5AM on Sunday.
We need your prayers for strength and health. Everyone seems to have extra aches and pains this week and to top it off, Jeremy's battling a bad chest cold and busted toe, and Megan has a mysterious illness thats zapping her energy (we're praying its NOT Dengue Fever!). Both still plan on running, though!
We're a bundle of nerves and excitement, and we all feel so blessed to be doing this together. Please keep us in your prayers, and consider supporting our cause - building a health clinic in the rural community of El Chonco. Its easy to give, just click on the donate button to the right.
Check in for more updates over the weekend!
Thanks!
