Lloyd's Big Day

Just wanted to let you know that tomorrow is the day Lloyd has been training for--the Mt. Mitchell Challenge: 20 miles up the mountain, then 20 miles back down. Please send some positive thoughts his way tomorrow at 7 a.m. as the starting gun sounds!

June and I will be there at the start and at the finish line, but it doesn't sound like we'll be able to see him anywhere on the course because it's just too remote. We'll get as many pictures as we can (Lloyd is planning on carrying his cell phone so he can snap a few of the course and maybe of himself and the other runners) and he has promised to post a thorough race report upon our return (and if you've been reading a while, you've probably noticed that thoroughness is one of Lloyd's strong suits). It should be a great story! June and I are very proud of him for his disciplined training and plain old guts and grit. I think we'll all be glad when it's over! And we'll anxiously await Lloyd's announcement of his next endurance endeavor. Stay tuned!
