So Saturday I baked and baked and then baked some more :). Sunday I arrived at church before 830. There was one table set up. That turned out to not be enough. We had to set up a second table for all the baked goods that were donated. I felt so blessed to have so much food donated from the lovely ladies. The first part of the morning was a little rough. I didn't know how it would go, many people were avoiding the table in fact :). But after first service a bunch of people came up and talked to me and donated and ate the yummy goodies. We even sold a whole pie, thanks to having one donated ;). Second service was even more busy than first service and it was amazing how many people wanted to know all about what I was doing. We had left overs so a bunch of people suggested we freeze it and sell the rest next Sunday. I figured no harm no fould so we put a bunch of food in the freezer. The stuff with frosting that wouldn't keep was put in the fridge and is being donated to a local shelter. Lots of yummy cupcaked :). I was amazed at the generousity from food to money to support. We have a survivor at our church as well and I feel so very blessed to be able to help her in a round about way. I have meet new people at church, gotten closer to others and made new friends. This has been such a wonderful experience. Overall I made $546, some in cash which was posted today at $425 and some in change that should post later this week, and some in checks that will mail out Tuesday and post in a week or so. It is so wonderful. Well its 8pm and I am beat so off to bed I go. Thank you Damascus Road for all your support!

Monday night was swim. It was alright. I realized that my nutrition is messing with my training and that had to stop. I finally got a trainer last weekend so on Tuesday I got on my trainer for 30 mins. I know what a wuss but the trainer is harder than you would think. I pushed it a bit more as well. Wednesday I missed run practice and went to bed early. Thursday I got in the pool for an OYO swim. I not only managed to do the full hour but I got 42 laps in. I also did my 32 laps in 45 mins which is a 3 min improvement from the last time I got in and tracked it. Saturday I did a 10 mile bike ride with a 3 mile run. Bricks are weird but good. It was a little rough. I then came home and baked my heart out :). I will post about the bake sale in another post. Overall it was a great training week. I got another "brick finishing medal" it was great. I am loving training and my team. I am so glad I am doing this.

Thanks to Debra for her donation to my fundraising efforts. Watch your mail (or rather work desk) for a cool post Hawaii picture of me.

Had a great swim tonight. Did 34 laps in 50 mins. Had a 3 min improvement on my race distance so feeling pretty good about that.

Thanks to everyone that is supporting me. It means the world to me.

Thank you to Kyle Archibald and Galen Bangs for their generous donations to my fundraising efforts. I couldn't do it without you guys.
