re: St. Jude's Memphis Marathon Weekend

Iona, it WAS good for the soul. I sadly cried Friday night not being able to run what I signed up to run. But a friend reminded me the distance didn't mean squat -- it was the intention that meant everything.

JOJO, did yall go to the pasta dinner? If not, it was humbling to walk into the room to clapping and cheering and "thank you" from a line of people. I was NOT prepared for that and I had tears in my eyes -- even at mass this am they asked visitors who were there for the Marathon Weekend to stand. I was in tears again as the priest said THANK YOU and they were clapping.

I knew it was a big deal but I had no idea how much it really meant to the people of Memphis that the runners came and ran and donated and raised money.

AMAZING all the way around -- the Captain for our team wants to have a marathon relay next year as the team's never participated in that. I'm all in as long as it works with my kids schedules again.
