A funny twist in the marathon gig...the Houston marathon is closed so Shea and Greg will be unable to join me in my run. HOWEVER, the Dallas marathon is wide open. It is the course that goes RIGHT IN FRONT OF BAYLOR SPECIALTY HOSPITAL. Granted, it is a month earlier = December 9. I'll have to step up my training...but it's do-able. As my three-year-old niece, Kilian, said when her dad offered to help her get dressed, "I can do all things through Christ." Actually she said..."No thanks, Dad. I can do all things through Christ," but you get the picture.
