Less than 3 weeks to go!!!

I can't believe it is already October. Time has truly flown by! I ran 16.5 miles this past Saturday and it felt great. I've been training since May... so I'm getting really excited as the marathon quickly approaches! This week my long run is only 12 miles. I'm looking forward to giving my body a bit of a rest before I run 26.2 miles.

Alyssa is home now! Here is the latest update from her grandma:

This has been one.... if not the toughest journey that our family has been on,
when you stop to think all that has happened to Alyssa in less than, 14 months
you would have said that was impossible, this combinations of both of these illness doesn't happen

only in the Twilight Zone, and that is where I think I have been, only in the far corners of the zone,

The main thing is how is Alyssa doing, with each day she is trying to do more,
She tries to do different thing each day and she keeps surprising us

the doctors have said that she shouldn't be doing what she is doing,
the with amount of damage that she has, no explanation for it
some of you that have come by to visit you have been able to see
her progress even if you seen her the day before,
This all shows us Alyssa determination and she will go far

They can't explain it, but we can,
We know that the Lord has had His healing hand on Alyssa
and that all things are possible threw Him,
We have had the Power of Prayer for Alyssa,
from Family, Friends, Our LBAC Family, as well as many other Churches,
Alyssa's Team in Training, the Nurses & Doctors, Friends of Friends,
Strangers we meet in passing, I know there are so many others out there
praying for her that we don't know about
We send our Heart Felt Thank You to all of you,
