Saturday morning the group met for a short 20-minute run through downtown Phoenix. At first the run was stop and go, thanks to the stoplights, but it was easy sailing once we ran farther away from the hotel.
No Snow!!!! YES!
After carrying all of my stuff on the Saturday group runs, Ken had been officially named the "SHERPA"!

We were suppose to keep off our feet on Saturday, so I took full advantage of being horizontal and lazy.

Teammate Liz's flare was awesome!The slogan at the bottom of Liz's scarf reads,
"Through slush and snow we may be slow
But until there's a cure we continue to GO!"
What do you mean there is no snow here??!!Me and Ken are ready for the slopes!
The TNT Pasta Party!
We all had a wonderful surprise at the Pasta Party... goodbyes were said to Marsha and Watty back in Salt Lake City, since they were not able to attend the marathon... until... we saw their smiling faces at the Pasta Party!!!! Marsha and Watty, as you will read later, were our lifelines at the end of the race; they are truly amazing people.
After the Pasta Party, our Teammate Lynor needed help writing the names of 41 cancer honorees/survivors on her legs. For fund raising, Lynor had sold her leg space on eBay. Me and Liz took green and purple Sharpies and wrote the names as Lynor went down her list.
The finished product - Lynor with green and purple legs!!!!
