Go Denise! Go Denise! Go Denise! YAY!

You are so cool. I am very impressed with how you're doing on the swim. You've got that part in the bag. I think that doing the three mile run was really important. OK, so it wasn't 5. But neither was it nothing. Sometimes the getting out there and doing it is more important than how much I do.

I know what you mean about the training wearing on you. A nurse at work qualified for Boston when she ran Chicago. So now she's training hard for Boston, and she's getting pretty tired of it. She looks great, though, strong and confident. And so do you. Your legs are so powerful! The gut...why oh why the gut? Like you, I have lean arms and legs, and a gut! Keep going. I am so excited to be cheering for you on 4/9. L.
