Gobi March

I just have to post this. I am one proud Aunt.

My nephew is participating in the Gobi March, one of the 4 Desert Endurance Races. He is in stage 3 and so far is not doing too badly. Last I checked I think he was ranked # 66 out of 145.

Money is being raised by this group to make people aware of various childhood illnesses, treatments, facilities, etc. I have a great niece with autism. Her Dad is doing this for her! What a guy!

Want to take a gander at what the route entails go to Gobi4good.com and click on race details.

Running a marathon is good, doing it for seven days...yikes. And here I took a seven mile bike ride this a.m. and thought I was the athlete of all time (NOT)!

Hale, this sounds like something you would do...

No, no lady. The title is computer goddess... :)

I speed walked for 30 minutes this morning, I guess that doesn't qualify for athlete of all time either... but we did walk VERY fast!

You have every right to be proud, Beejay. I feel faint if I just think about running 250 km in the desert.

I think a marathon followed by a nice shower, hot tub, and a comfy bed is about my limit!

I do believe out Mark will be of the same mind-set once this is done.
