Day 3 - Racehorses need oats and Runners need pasta

Bolder Options arranged for a special pasta meal the evening before the marathon. The meal was donated to Bolder Options by one of Ryans friends who has been helping the team - Sander Schouwstra.
The dinner was at an Italian restaurant - Gusto di Casto, which was a quaint little restaurant that had reserved the upper level for Team Bolder Amsterdam. The food was good and we dug in. Two types of pasta and great Italian Salad - just what a runner needs.
When we were almost done - Ryan spoke for a bit to help us focus on the real reason we were running the marathon - our Bolder Options kids. In a touching speech he told us of his experiences with how a little support can make big differences not only to the lives of the kids but also to the families that they live in. We then handed a few Bolder Options gifts to our hosts and benefactors.
John Tarbuck then thanked Ryan for his efforts in bringing the team to Amsterdam and for his work in making it all run smoothly. We then ended this portion of our dinner with a special treat - encouraging notes from current Bolder Options mentees. If this didnt get us excited for the next day - I guess nothing could
