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
