So a few weeks ago erica and i go to "meet the teacher night" as our daughter carly has just begun 1st grade. The projects the kids had done in the 1st few weeks were hanging around the room. One of them caught our eye....the project was "My Greatest Hero" with the assignment being that they had to write who their hero is and a draw a picture. All of the kids did stuff like firemen, their dads and run of the mill heroes one would expect....but not our daughter...she apparently "adapted" a story she saw on animal planet to make it seem like it happened on our street....take a look for yourself below (with my translation underneath) and bear in mind the following:
1) our neighbor does not have a dog
2) our neighbors name is not mady
3) the dog in the picture is now a quadruple amputee
4) the teacher did not question the validity of this story
5) but the teacher did call "bullshit" on carly when carly told the teacher she couldnt sit in the back of the room because she was getting glasses (she doesnt need glasses)
6) she dotted all her i's with hearts
My greatest hero is Mady. She helped my next door neighbors dog. It was in the street. She lost her legs.
Now back to business.....we have raised about $3500! Thanks to everyone again!
I ran my longest run so far this past sunday - 20 Miles! my pace was quite good at under 10 minutes per mile and i felt great!
Marathon is less than 5 weeks away (31 days but who's counting?)

Hi David,
The drawing is most excellent, though your running habits are equally impressive. Already to Altoona! : )
For sure, Jon and I will be cheering you on from afar on race day.
