Training with Ticks

This Oklahoma weather has made training quite interesting so far - but not bad. One Saturday while walking in downtown OKC, we had to cut it short. But last Saturday - at Lake Stanley Draper...we should earn a merit badge for that one! Don't get me wrong, we don't want to seem "high maintenance"...but...it was MUDDY, not paved, we saw deer, unidentifiable tracks, and AFTER I showered, I still found a tick in my hair! I guess you could say that I'm not much of a camper! Of course I will gladly treck 26.2 miles & sweat buckets if it brings us THATMUCH closer to finding cure!!

Meeting Stephen!!

Yeah! I got to meet Stephen Swanner, Jr., our honoree! He and his mom came to OKC for his monthly check-up. He was wearing his FAVORITE Texas Longhorns hat! I really debated whether or not to post those pictures, I mean...it's Texas for cryin' out loud!! But, he is our honoree - and he is DARLING!! It was so wonderful to meet his mom, Janet. And to see Sara! Mom & Tom (and the girls) were flying to Michigan this morning - hopefully Mom can meet Stephen on his next visit!
