Today was another tough day on a director level, but a good day overall. In the morning, Patti provided a good breakfast and Sunny D. I haven’t had that in a long time and drinks other than water area always tasty :) I forgot to mention in my post yesterday that they got outdoor bathrooms donated for us so that was really cool. For our dedication circle, we had a deeper circle and everyone shared more than just the name of the dedication, but why. I shared about gram and how she became my huge why and that she is the reason I am able to get through it. I also dedicated today to TJ. I have been dedicating a good amount of my days to him, but yesterday he passed away. I was able to talk to him on Facetime and hear about him through a teammate who is close to him so to hear that news was terrible to hear. I also dedicated my day to Carley. If you remember her from 2020, I learned about her through a movie, Kiss and Cry, and reached out to her sister and the foundation. They’re an amazing foundation and dedicating a day is the least I can do besides supporting them through momentary donations. To this day, I still wear the ring that says “Always Smile” which was what Carley shared all the time, even through her cancer fight. (If you want to learn more about Carley and her impactful story – check out the link below). Today was a shorter distance day – only 4 miles! We decided to run together as a team in South Lake Tahoe (our destination for the evening). We drove there first and got some breakfast before starting our run. We were able to have a rider run with us too so that was fun! The 4 miles were really good and its always nice to run with as many people as possible. After the run, we went in the lake and you could walk out for so long before it was deep. We walked out for like 8 minutes and it still was at my hips, which I thought was really cool. For lunch, we had pizza donated and it was delicious. After that time, we went to our host to unload. We’re at a Synagogue for tonight and tomorrow (a rest day!). I got a nice cozy spot to sleep. They are so kind and are providing us dinner and food for all of tomorrow and breakfast the next day! They’re also just so nice and welcoming. We went to a recreation center for showers and they worked out nicely. We decided to later get ice cream because a local place in town gave us 50% off! I got a vanilla waffle cone and then we watched the sunset. When we got back to the host, we had to take the food out of the van because of bears and then I went right to sleep :)
