Referrals & (Mostly) Running

Congratulations to those families logged in through November 25, 2005. They will soon be seeing their babies pictures for the first time!
4 days of referrals...the number of days/referrals wasn't the worst case scenario (that would have been up to the 24th!) Did you see the RQ post noting how only four months of dossiers were referred over the whole of last year (9/1/06-9/1/07)? So we continue to inch along.



And speaking of inching along (smooth transition, eh?!) I finished my third half marathon yesterday! I "ran" til mile 9 and walked until the boardwalk (about mile 12) and picked it up again to the finish. I actually did better than last year , not quite beating my 1st race PR. Still, not bad for non-runner me and poor training in the last few weeks. As of yesterday when the gun went off, I just wanted to finish and be able to walk back to my car! =) The female winner from Kenya finished in 1:11:12. Wow. Maybe if I had just sprinted a bit more at the end?! =)
This year several Elvis (Elvi?) joined the masses of runners, also a group of Ge*ico cavemen (beards & fake teeth), a flamingo, and an impressive Sp*nge B*b. Running 13.1 miles with a cardboard box on your head & torso is an impressive feat in itself!
I keep thinking next year I won't be able to do this as I'll be in China...time will only tell if I'm hobbling around Labor Day 2008 or not. =)
