she's in the shower right now, you would be too if you were just running in a 122 degree weather! yuck! she really seemed to perk up a bit after her climb out of stovepipe and she had her nephew joey with her every step of the way. its insanely hot and the wind is like the hottest blow dryer in your face. she's going to take a rest here, try to take a nap even though she doesnt really want to. she's got a 17 mile climb out of here later so lets hope for some clouds!
as for injuries: her calf is taped, she's still blister free, wait, maybe theres one blister but shes doing great. she's still staying hydrated thanks to george and their concoctions. i'll try to get some photos up soon if the internet connection isnt as slow as i think it is...hopefully you'll hear from us soon!

Hey, Terry!
We're following your progress. You're doing GREAT!
Maybe try a teeny bit more electrolytes and just see if that relieves any of the nausea. I'm thinking about you as you head into your second night on the road. When it gets tough during the night, just remember that you ALWAYS feel better when the sun comes up again.
Hang in there, crew. Sounds like you're doing a fabulous job.
Can't wait to hear the updates.

I hope you can enjoy the desert at night, even if it is a bit creepy. Look at the stars, you've probably never seen the night sky so vivid. Listen to the silence.
I wish I was there.

Hey Terry,
Great job! You've made it over half way. Now you can start counting down the miles instead of counting up. What an awesome feeling that must be. What an accomplishment. Sounds like you're hanging in there quite well. Keep on keepin' on! You're one strong woman! You're amazing! Happy Birthday!
Love, Karen M.
Terr you are blowing me away 72 miles down you are very strong sista's I have a hard time running around the corner I'm praying for you baby girl stay safe luv ya. Meplus2
Big T, Great job!!. I knew you could do my mile 50, but I changed my mind, could you do mile 123 and 129 for me?;) There really special numbers for me, it will probably change my life, OK? That would be really great. I hope it is not too much to ask, not that you're not doing the incredible already. Rooting for you, keep going. 100 feet ahead. Cheers to the crew!!!!!. Way to go Joe. Love, Chris
Terry...as I sat at Twigs tonight meeting my future in-laws, well, never mind. Seriously, I told them all about what an amazing woman you are and what you were doing. We toasted you. They just did the Seattle to Portland thing. They were amazed when I told them what you were doing in Death Valley. SO keep on keepin' on, this calls for another toast. ;) Love ya, Jack
P.S. Shoot up some fireworks , would ya, when you get to my number:95?? How's the crew doing? Thanks you guys for all that you are doing. Jack
Kailey and I have been following your journey (through Meeghan). We are awestruck. Best of luck to you and take care of yourself. You're an inspiration! Good Job! Mo and Kailey Olson
Terry, wish I was there, what an adventure.
(Taryn, Lynn, Joey, Brian, and the rest of the crew), you should all be proud of everything so far as well. Like most everyone else, the girls and I are checking the website frequently, calling Mom & Dad, and trying to figure out how you're doing. Stay safe, but do what you gotta do. Enjoy the accomplishment.
terry, we're so excited about your continued success. I want to give you another number to think about is the perfect eleven squared which will be 121 miles and only 6 miles (or a breeze) from the course's 127 miles. Then onto the mountain! Go Girl. Sharon C.

Happy belated birthday! way to go girl RUN strong! GO Girl you are my inspiration, sorry I couldn't send a message earlier, I was in montana
but my prayers and thoughts were with you. I swam 1 mile in a LAKE for you ewwww! but it was worth it. if you can check your e-mail for a really cool poem I couldn't get it attatched to this spot, Keep on trucking! Love ya
THIS SAYS IT ALL:
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT.........
Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how
many miles are
between you. A girl friend is never farther away
than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you
have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life
will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on,
praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on
your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the
valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk
beside you...Or come in and carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,
daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers,
Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended
family, all bless our life!
The world wouldn't be the same without women, and
neither woul d I. When we began this adventure called
womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or
sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we
would need each other.
GOOD Luck Terry! Love YA
BE safe Be blessed
That poem was so cool. It made me cry. That's hard to do.. Good one. D. Jack
