I also wanted to post this adorable picture of Kari and Tesla. Kari and I went to school together in Japan. She lives in L.A. now with her husband, 2 children, 2 cats, and a dog! That's a lot of beings to take care of; plus she works full-time. AND she just ran her 2nd marathon!!

Kari stayed with us for the event. I was surprised at how chill she was, hanging out with me so normally. I loved getting to catch up on girl time. If I were running 26 miles the next day, I'd be a nervous wreck! Anyhow, I was super excited to watch her, dragged Elida out of bed early so we could drive to 3 different places on the course to cheer Kari on.

It was so inspirational. Both Elida and I teared up when we saw Kari just before the finish line. We have decided to work out together as I've been needing to get in shape so I can keep up with Tesla. I'm feeling it every time I pick her up! It was also inspirational as the Nike Marathon raised $16 million for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It was awesome to see so many women running.
