Dad & I at the end

That was my number -- and yes, I will most definitely be an uber nerd and keep it tucked away in some book or chest forever. My first race. My team was creatively named Live Long & Perspire (only after another team stole our original "We'll Be Home For Christmas").

It went sooo well -- so much better than I had expected. Don't let me fool you though...it was a test of mind over matter and that finish line was warmly welcomed. My teammates were rockstars.

"Happiness is not in the mere possession of money;
it lies in the joy of achievement,
in the thrill of creative effort."
