Hi Lona,

I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I just wanted to see how you've been doing. I hear you are going to be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro! That sounds awesome!

All is going well here. Many of the ladies of 3-61 have started training for the May 16th Denver/Colfax Marathon. You are welcome to join us if you are available.

Speaking of marathons, wanted to tell you about how Tyler helped me finish the Disney marathon. It was a pretty rough experience in general because it was FREEZING (like 20 degrees in Florida!). I actually slipped and fell at mile 6 because all the watering stations had turned into sheets of ice. Not fun. I was feeling good from mile 10-20, but knew I had to pick up the pace in the last 6 miles to make my goal of finishing in under 5 hours. When I hit mile 20, they were playing "Don't Stop Believing" over the loud speakers and I couldn't help but think of you and your family, and of course, Tyler. I definitely got emotional, but then pushed myself just a little bit harder and finished the race in 4 hours and 56 minutes! You and Tyler continue to be an inspiration for me and I just want to thank you for all that you do.

If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to call or email me anytime. You and your family are continually in my prayers.

God Bless,

Lena Steiner
