My very first blog!

I made a stop at my parent's house in Lawrence today. I was on my way home to Topeka and was hungry. My Mom was outside in their new backyard envisioning what Spring would bring. The first thing she said to me was 'You must start a blog!' She has been reading the blogs of my fellow Camp HTFUer's. Camp HTFU was held Feb 28 - March 2 in Greenville, SC. I still can't believe that I was able to take part in such an epic, amazing and totally incredible event. I was the only non-blogger in the group and felt more than a little intimidated by that fact. The only thing I could really contribute was a little bit of blog fodder for the others to write about. My Mom's main concern was that I would lose touch with my new friends and miss out on any future HTFU happenings. That struck some fear in me. So here I am, staying up way too late before a 3 hour run tomorrow morning, hunt and pecking the keyboard to create my first blog.

I just want to shout out a great big Hi!!!!! to Liz and Jen and Mary and Marit and Ashley!!!!!!! Thank you all so much for not only waiting up for me after I got dropped (I was the oldest one after all...but sheeesh, I've never felt the need to use that excuse before!) but also letting me be a part of something Legendary! I learned so much from all of you and came back home to Kansas a different and better person and athlete.
