Ok so January 6th and still a little over two months until the marathon....Janet, JuJu, MoMo and Ryleigh are staying with us for a few days right now.  They are actually leaving today....:(. But its been awesome having them here.  I went running in Memorial this morning....about 10 miles.  Felt a little slow....but was in a great mood.  I couldn't help but think as I ran about how beautiful life is...I mean every day I concern myself with trivial little concerns but when I actually take time during a run to step back and look at how beautiful and rich with experiences life is, all I can do is smile.  I was thinking about Ryleigh as I ran this morning....that girl is only six months old right now and yet she has been through so much...what are her thoughts....what will she be when she grows up...will she run a marathon when she grows up....her future now knows no limits and no boundaries...how amazing.  Maybe having gone through all that she has a marathon will seem easy...I would guess that it is compared to all she has endured.  I feel like she has much to teach us all in the years ahead.
