Sleep with one eye open Chayse

There I lay, in an unfamiliar room 15 miles from where the rest of the team was soundly sleeping together. No doubt having gone to bed wishing each other a peaceful nights rest. A short moment passes before a final volley is cast, "I wonder where Jerry is sleeping, probably at the toilet store". A roar of uncontrollable laughter sweeps from one room to the next, the sound wave traveling down the 5 freeway. My daughter sleeping on the floor in her makeshift bed next to me stirs. I wonder if she knows the first victory has gone to the evil news team. I admit I was not prepared for the psychological warfare employed on me, in retrospect I suppose I was too focused on the possibility of physical harm. At the team dinner I was systematically lead towards anger, they were all looking at me but they weren't looking at me, divide and conquer they did. I left before the dinner was over having eaten a meal I barely remember. You see Chayse and I were spending the night at my cousin's in Mission Viejo as per the teams request in fear she would disturb their sleep in such tight quarters. Touche, isolate and one's imagination will run a muck with fear and paranoia. Hah, as if.  "Sleep with one eye open Chayse, my cousin may be their new weekend anchor"

530 AM  I awaken, it is the morning of the run. I tell myself I am prepared, I have trained as hard as I could have given the circumstances, King Kong has NOTHING ON ME. "Oops sorry Chayse didn't mean to step on you, come it's time to get up"  I shower, stretch, rub my hamstring with some Tiger Balm, and prepare for what is to be a most amazing and memorable day.

It was to say the least, a life changing event. There was so much positive energy and Hunter's spirit was felt throughout the day and run and he undoubtedly had our back. Thank you Iron Hunter for all your support and inspiration. And a final thank you again to all those that wished us luck, supported us, and donated their hard earned money to the Pediatric Cancer Research Fund. We love you and see you next year : )

  6 blogs, 8 people offended, 51.00 minutes, 3900 dollars raised, and one teeny tiny little medal.....priceless

Wait, just one last thing. The evil news team in all there gusto to get to the run and take me down, forgot one incredibly important thing......

 They forgot to bring the Team Hunter banner that we had made for the run! Maybe we can cross out the 2010 and replace it with a 2011. Run with us next year, if you like you can join my morning news team.
