Hey, how is everyone doing? I just finished my 2nd 10 mile run! I'm sweaty and in desperate need of a shower, but I finished. The week of July 27th, I did 2 8.5 mile runs and the follwoing week I did one 8.5 and one 10 mile run. So we're getting there. Slowly but surely! The next couple of weeks, I'm going to stay at 10 miles and if my anckle don't stiffen up to much, then around the 20th, I'm going to go for 13 miles!

Jen is doing great! She had her surgery and looks great! Better than Joan Rivers curtsey of this lovely GBM. She's running again and the Joggin for the Noggin in Chicago is this coming Sunday, Aug 17th. For those of you who are in the area, stop by and say to hi to Jen or better yet, tie your sneakers and go for a quick 5K run! She'ld love to run with all of you! Proceeds go to benefit the Tug McGraw Foundation.

Chris is home now and is doing better, but the side-effects from the meds are making it difficult to take the drugs.

My stepmom, Marty came through her surgery this past week with flying colors! She came home yesterday.

Lots and lots of prayers go out when I run, especially on the longer runs, like 10 miles!

Stay well and love the running!
