Mary Collier Working through Swelling Issues
Hey its Mary Collier. Today is Thursday, June 19th and its about 9 o'clock. I'm stopped in Butte, MT. Had a little set back the last few days. I'm having a lot of swelling in my legs. So I'm trying to nurse that and work through it. Took an ice bath in the hotel tonight. .... Hoping they come back to life soon. A little set back. So last three days have been short. A couple of 60 milers and a 75 miler. BUT I'm optomistic and I think I'm doing the right thing to take care of it. Hoping to catch up to some guys in the morning. Have a good night.

Good Move
Mary-
You're doing the right thing. I can imagine how hard it must be to settle in for rest when others are moving on, but by taking some time now to recover you'll come back stronger & hammer out a better race.
We all love you & are pushing some serious juju your way!

NM support
Hey Mary! I just learned of this gigantic challenge you have launched into. And you will be going right through my brother's home turf in Silver City, NM. He has offered support - anything you anticipate needing - as you pass through his area. Just call Bob at 575-534-7978 and he can hook up with you via, truck, motorcycle, ATV, horseback or even mountain bike. He has excellent R & R resources, as well, if it comes to that.
But, It looks like you're doing great, in spite of your little set-back, and you have a lot of true-believers here in Idyllwild! We'll be thinking about you on the "Bud" ride tomorrow.

OOOPS!
Mary,
It looks like I should have read the rules first! I don't want to run you afoul of the regs. which appear to prohibit outside support. So... never mind!
But, keep up the good effort!

My stomach dropped a little
My stomach dropped a little when I checked the leaderboard and didn't see any dots in between Helena and Butte, and the dots on Helena and Butte weren't you. I should have known you'd be rockin out past Butte already! Ride on!!!
Hi Mary...you go girl, hope
Hi Mary...you go girl, hope your legs are doing great!! sue h
