0 - nothing today. A lot more stuff going on for our friends. And of course life goes on too for the rest of the world - that is such a weird feeling. I remember after my stroke, we were driving home from the neurologist, and I kept thinking my life and family's just totally changed and none of these people know anything, they just keep on doing what they do. And that's how I felt the last two days. Life has changed so drastically for us, and indescribably for our friends, but for most of the world life just keeps doing what it does. The kids went with the rest of the family to the air show, which was a bummer to miss because it really is cool. But... Also, I have been trying to get ready for XC camp next week. Friday was to be shopping day and all sorts of stuff to get ready. Of course none of that happened, so I tried to get what I could of that done today. You know one thing about all that life just keeps going talk is that there are so many amazing people that can help out and are willing to do anything to ease the burdens and strengthen you in any way possible. Such great people around.

Running wise, just such a bummer end to what was turning out to be a good week. I hadn't planned on a super big week, but it was happening and I felt better than last week. I was also looking forward to next week being a recovery week at camp and not having to stress about mileage (I'll still stick to that plan though... Camp isn't a week to try and kill oneself). Hopefully I'll just have the mental energy to get it going a bit again (of course I will, but it just seems kind of less-relavant now).

I don't know you or all the details but I feel your pain. As a Christian I can't help but feel sorrow for you and hope that God will comfort you. I hope you don't mind but I just pray now, God, please let your Spirit of comfort surround this man and his friends and family. I pray that this tragedy will bring a clearer understanding of your love and your desire to be in a relationship these who loved Teri, I pray that there will be proper grieving and remembrance, and healing. May the comfort of knowing that you are in control and you control life and death be in this moment. May the death of your Son Jesus bring comfort as we trust in you. Amen.

That would be a very strange feeling. Our hearts go out to You, Ally and of course the Lusk Family. What a terrible thing to have to go through. If you need any help getting ready for camp just let me know.

Thanks so much for all your thoughts and prayers. Even though I have only physically met a handful of people on here, it is a great community that brings us all together and gives a way to support each other whether it be in training, a race, wonderful time or tragic times. And that is what this is all about...being there for each other and loving one another. Thanks.

Dave, my condolences go out to you and everyone else. I pray for some great healing to take place now.

From Tom K on Sun, Jul 27, 2014 at 14:48:03 from 71.203.20.181

Holt, you don't know me, but I am so sorry for your loss. You and your friend's family are in our family's prayers.

Ugh... Hope you have a good week at camp. It'll be good to get your mind off stuff.

From Dustin on Sun, Jul 27, 2014 at 15:59:36 from 209.33.192.10

Hey Dave..

Please know that Sunny and I have been praying for you and especially Ally and and the Lusk family.

I kind of knew Terri through an admin class we had together. From the posts and comments I've read on facebook I'm understanding what a wonderful person she was.

As difficult as it is I'm comforted with the strength and testimony Terri's family as well as your family has shown through this ordeal.

If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

Hey Dave - I'm just catching up... Our hearts goes out to you guys and our thoughts are with you. What a terrible accident... almost can't believe it. I don't know her, but give Ally my best. I can't imagine going through something like that.

From Fritz on Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 20:23:50 from 98.202.9.237

Dave, I am sorry this happened. I can't imagine what you, Ally and the Lusk family must be going through right now. Stay strong.

From Holt on Wed, Jul 30, 2014 at 01:46:33 from 67.2.241.80

We really appreciate the thoughts and prayers. They strengthen us each day.
