Dear Family and Friends,
Well, the weekend is upon us and it is a beautiful day. Ann and I got up early – Saturday is her Master’s degree class day. She leaves early and gets back early evening. I made her breakfast and sent her off with a cup of tea to go.
I am having kind of a lazy morning. I need to cut the yard and edge it, which will probably be the last time I do those things this year. Not much else planned, other than possibly working some to make up for a little time this week.
Part of my lazy morning is due to the fact that today is a rest day so I am not running. Tomorrow is the Nationwide Better Health Columbus Marathon day. Katie and I are running the 1/2 marathon and Sam and Bethany are running the full marathon. We have been training for 3 months now, so we are all prepared, but the challenge still lies before us. I have run one full marathon, and two 1/2 marathons. This will be my third 1/2 marathon. This will be Katie’s second 1/2 marathon. This is Sam’s and Bethany’s first full marathon, but they have both run a 1/2 marathon. Steve would probably be running it as well, but he is in Costa Rica student teaching.
It should be a great weekend and I hope you all have one as well.
Love,
Jim
