Lance ran his first marathon this past Saturday in Memphis. He ran 26.2 miles in 3 hours and 49 minutes. His goal was under 4 hours, so he was pretty pleased. Earlier in the week he was concerned that he might not even finish because he has developed a little bit of tendinitis in his Achilles heal. At mile 9 he started to hurt then stopped to stretch, then he slowed his pace down some. I got to see him at mile 4, 7, and 22. A good friend's sister lives right on the race route, so I was able to stay warm in her house in between. Thankfully everything worked out for Lance to finish. I am so proud of him. Unfortunately, Lance's mom (who was keeping Madeline for us) ended up in the hospital Friday night due to a pretty terrible nose bleed. So we headed straight to T-town to see her and pick up M. If you all could pray for her we would appreciate it. Its been over a year that she has been doing some form of chemo and its just taken its toll. My mom is doing better, thanks to everyone who prayed. They are still working out medication and do not know why she threw clots, but things are looking better.
We listened to most of THE GAME on the radio on the ride back, but it was still great. ROLL TIDE!!!!

It makes me want to pass out just thinking of walking must less running that far! I have great admiration for Lance.
Hey, T! I didn't erase your comment... I don't know what happened! Strange. Anyway, I knew Claude was going to sell his tickets. We are looking to buy them from somewhere else. But thanks for the heads up!
