Day 23: Cowtown Marathon

No real news to report. Richard is still very tired, sleeping about 11 hours a night and resting a lot during the day. Yesterday he walked two blocks, and did some exercises the physical therapist had shown him.

The main reason for posting today is to invite people to join us in the Cowtown Marathon on Sunday, October 1, in Land Park. (Click on "Cowtown Marathon" for details.) It's a marathon, half-marathon, team relay or 5K (3.1 mile) walk. They anticipate about 2,000 participants.

Proceeds benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Alissa and I have signed up, and plan to do the 5K run/walk (trust me, we will be *walking*). We think it will take us about an hour to walk. Please join us if you can!

Let's hear it for resting and sleeping! It's one of the best things we can do for our bodies- and we seem to forget it.

Sure would love to join you at the Cowtown Marathon - will think of you as we walk all over Lyon with Mom & Dad.

Love from Lyon!

I just signed up for the run/walk . . . and, please, I'm counting on it being more of a walk than a run!
