Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Update shared from Courtney Dauwalter's FB page

     This wasn't her year, but she will be okay. She ran over 300 of the 486 miles.

This definitely wasn't in the plan. 😣 Court was wheezing pretty badly in the RV this morning, so we made the call to take her to the ER in Leadville. Her pulse ox was 70 so the doctors here ran a full range of tests for HAPE, blood clots, and other severe conditions. Thankfully those were all ruled out and they determined she has acute bronchitis. It could have been allergy induced, or from all the dust/dry heat, plus an impaired immune system from her run. She's on oxygen until her levels come back up, but she should be perfectly healthy in a few days. We’re crushed it had to end this way, but ever grateful she’s on the mend.



(my ex. update, 1 streaksaver mile pm, ytd 966.75; 2.1 mi dog walk in am, ytd 380.3 miles)
