Well I had a great weekend. The weather up here has been the best so far this year. But alas, it was only for one day. But for that one day, I got to wear shorts and not freeze. It was sunny and warm.
Michael and I went to the Truck and Jeep show at the Puyallup Fairgrounds. We met up with our neighbors Paul and Brock. Surprise, my cousin David was there with a Pro Comp display.

Michael knew all along Dave was coming up and I found out a couple of nights before at dinner when he just walked in. Blew me away! Way cool.

These were a couple of photos taken at Toyota's display.




I've been able to do 2 miles on the treadmil consistently at the gym. Now to gear up to 3.1 miles to complete a full 5K walk. My pace is a 20 minute mile (3mph) on an incline of at least 3. I estimate at least a full hour of straight walking. I'm pushing myself to be ready and I'm confident I will be. I'll be tired and sore, but I'll finish. I walk with a limp which puts strain on my left foot, ankle and up my shin.

With everyone's help, the donations are up to $1,055. I'm now 53% of my goal of $2,000.
Oh yeah, time for a sister competition recap:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cindy $190 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lori $385 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
