If you'd like to know a truly crazy person - please allow me to introduce you to Andrea Rogers!Andrea is a colleague of Julie's, a family friend, and more importantly - an 8 time marathon runner! You don't necessarily have to be crazy to work with Julie or to be our friend (ok... maybe..) - but you do have to be crazy to run 8 marathons.
Or.. make that 9! Because Andrea is off to Honolulu to run her 9th marathon this weekend.
***** We heard from Andrea Sunday and she finished in about 5:50!! Congratulations Andrea! *****
Andrea was also a part of Team Tod 2007 and I really wish we could return the favor. How fun would it be to be darting around Oahu encouraging her. I think Joel and Hannah would be down with a trip to Hawaii!
Alas, since we can't be there.. we will just wish her great success here! Have a great run Andrea and know that we will all be thinking about you on your big day. Oh yeah, and don't die.
PS.. did you know? the Honolulu Marathon is one of the largest in the world? in 2006 there were over 28,000 entrants! also.. do you know which country has the most entrants? No way - USA. Nooo Canada! China - my heina! Japan? hai. (that means yes). Over 62% of entrants in 2006 were from Japan!
