Another Runner

Uncle Eric entered the Burlington City Marathon in Vermont. After 15 miles he thought he was pulling a calf muscle, so he slowed to a walk for another mile and decided to stop there. To quote his wife, Aunt Kerie, "....he finished this Marathon last year. That's pretty good considering he broke his hip 4 years ago and has had multiple knee surgeries...not to mention his age...ahem. There's NO WAY I'd ever run 26 miles. I don't know how these guys do it?!?!?!?!"

I don't know how they do it either, but I'm proud of Uncle Eric and all the other runners in our family. I know they practice and train and do all those things that make them healthier, so they still get the benefits of their efforts. Best of all, Uncle Eric is looking for another marathon in which to run. You just can't keep a good man down!

God Bless you all! Love you all! Grand
ma for Grandpa and me
