I had to go into work at 2 am this morn, arrived home about 8am put on the running garb and headed out for my long. Todays route took me to the top of harry's hill down through salem, back up power house road, around the golf course and home. It did get a little hot the last 3 or 4 miles but we gutted it out. Wendy road her back the whole way and it was nice to have her encouragement. She even road to the top of harry's hill. She is really turning into a real biker chick. It is nice to have family support in training for a marathon. I ended with 200 crunches.

June has been a weird month. It you would have told me month ago that we would sale our home and buy a new one and move, have a daughter move to Texas, and a grandson have open heart surgery, I would have told you, you are crazy. I can't believe that all that has happend this month. But things are starting to settle down now and we have been witness to alot of tender mercies from the Lord, I have diffenitley noticed His hand in the lives of my family. I testify that He does live and He is real and a part of our every day lives if we will let him in. Hope ya all have a great weekend, catch ya latter.

Wow Curtis! I didn't know all that was going on in your family! Is it Haley's little boy or your son's boy? You've seen too many surgeries with grandchildren! Thanks for sharing your spiritual thoughts with us today. Good luck to you and your family! And good luck on your marathon training! I'm glad Wendy is on the bandwagon with you! I can just see her little "tee hee" you were talking about the other day! She's a cute "tee hee-er"!
