Friday, was Stephanie's birthday (42nd). She received a couple cards, a daily devotional book and a $50 gift certificate to Kohl's (one of her favorite places to shop). Shallen and I took her out to dinner to a chinese buffet. We had a great time and didn't eat too much!
Saturday morning was pretty chilly in KC...but, I got up anyway to do my long run for the week. With everything going on the last couple of weeks and my feet bothering me a little, I didn't get much mileage in. I decided to take it easy and go a little shorter than my plan called for.
The run was in Olathe, KS and it was about 20 degrees when we started. I had originally planned on 10 miles when I woke up that morning - my run was going so well and I felt great, so I pushed it to 12. During the last two miles of the run, we pushed the pace a little bit (somewhere around 7:45) and it started to snow! This was a great way to finish the run...smooth, comfortable with snow flakes touching my face - it was a great feeling.
Yesterday was a beautiful day. We tried a new church in our area and really enjoyed the service. It was a very meaningful worship time. The message was on God's sustaining love even when we don't deserve it (which is pretty much all of the time)! After church, we had a nice luch at the house with lettice wraps (I got the results back from MY blood work when I went in for the annual physical. My total cholesterol was at 249, my bad cholesterol was at 181, should be under 100 and the doctor suggested the South Beach Diet, phase 3 to get everything in check). I think this will all work out well - I could stand to lose between 10-15 pounds; should help my running a little as well.
Today, we visit with Stephan's doctor about his Ritalin LA and what we can do as an alternative. We've changed his meds before, some with pretty good results, some not so good. Continue to pray for Stephan as I take him to the hopital on Wednesday for the scan and biopsy of the lymph nodes.

Glad the weekend was good. With all the travel I did last week I only got 30 miles in total but 15 of them were at 8000 feet in New Mexico. No air in the air up there for sure. Still praying for Stephan and for wisdom for the drs. and the you guys. Love you bro.
Wow, at 8000 ft, you had to be sucking some air when you finished; you probably increased your chest by atlease an inch after all that! Thanks for the prayers! I love you to bro!
Let me know how the dr. visit went today buddy. Still praying.
