2009 ING New York City Marathon

I have been slacking on the updates.  Lori has been getting ready for school to start so that usually leaves me in charge of munchkins.  Konner has been at the lake all week and is coming home today so maybe we can get one more family golf session in before we are once again turned upside down with day-to day activities this season seems to always bring in tow.  This summer was gone in a blink.  Damn…….

Running has been going alright.  I ran 15 miles last Sat at White Rock Lake in Dallas.  I can’t tell you the difference between running in Dallas and running in Midland.  It is so inspiring to see that many people out and at all different ages and levels .   I wish I could run there everyday.  Chris Jauz (as I typed the last sentence) just sent me a text about seeing U2 on Oct 12th in Dallas,  so maybe I can work it out to run my 18 miler I have scheduled that day back at White Rock.

My brother Tommy is coming along nicely.  I talked to him on Sat and he had just finished his 17 mile run.

Bruce ran a 10 miler last Sat as well and says he is on track.  I wish he would get a watch and send me some info.
