WEEK #9 / Happy Easter!

CUTLER UPDATE: To quote the Fricke's blog, Cutler's doctor said he has "the blood of a healthy boy" after reviewing his latest test results!!! They were also told that his spinal fluid is completely clean - first time since their journey began back in September. I couldn't be happier for the Fricke family! AND, to top it off, I got to meet the little guy this weekend! Seeing him in person and holding him in my arms truly made my day. What a little angel!
TRAINING UPDATE: To say that I 'only' had to run 10 MILES this week just shows how a person's mentality changes when training for an endurance event! :) Our TNT coaches, mentors and staff prepared an Amazing Race-style training for us, complete with trivia questions, physical challenges (other than running!) and a visit from the Easter bunny! I had some new shin-related pain this week so I slowed down my pace a bit and gave my legs a little break. I have become close friends with an ice pack.
FUNDRAISING UPDATE: Thanks to the PepsiCo Foundation, I was pleasantly surprised to see another $200 added to my fundraising account in the form of matching gifts. The grand total is now at a whopping $4,431! Wahooooo! We'll be at $5,000 in no time. Thanks again, everyone!
