26 down, 108 to go

Hey everyone my mom has now passed the first marathon in the run. it took her about 7 in a half hours. So far the highest temp that has been seen is a scorching 118 degrees. Strangely though it has been raining off and on all day. She is still going strong the only concerns as of right now are the high temps and basic fatigue. So please keep posting good luck to keep her motivated thank you. talk to you all very soon.

Great job this far Terry! Thank God for the rain today. I'm thinking of you and praying for you and your safety. You're an amazing athlete. If anyone can do this, it would be you. Stay focused and don't run faster that your angels can fly! Keep up the good work and keep your spirits up. And as Kenny Rogers would say "Know when to walk away, and know when to run" Love, Karen M.

Terry you knew the heat would be tough, keep hanging in there! This is what you trained for. You are strong enough, mind over body remember!! I saw a comment where someone had a DNF due to "old and slow", I laughed a lot at that one. You may not think it is funny right now, but some night at 5 am it will be. I know you can do this, Happy Birthday again. LOVE YOU, Steff
