Thanks so much for signing my guestbook, Jenn! I just happened across your entry while checking my page (I'm getting ready to send it out to everyone - sure wish the active.com site had a diary feature), and was so happy to see someone there! Ah, you noticed the Shiners...they are a bit prominent in the picture, eh? I should be replacing that one with a TNT picture in the next few days...but I digress...of course since you checked out my page, I had to check out yours. Oh Jenn. I cannot even imagine what you must have gone through. Being a mother of two little girls myself, just the thought of either of them having to withstand years of such pain makes my heart ache. I'm so sorry that your little Faith had to do the same...but at the same time am glad that she has come through it. She is so beautiful, and your pride in and love for her shines through every word and picture. Please don't be discouraged. You are doing a marvelous thing, and your determination is formidable. Don't give up! As someone who is going to do her first six miles tomorrow, I salute you for doing 14! Whoa! You will do this, I have no doubt in my mind. Thanks again for stopping by. Keep me posted on how things are going, and I will try to do the same for you. San Fran or bust (and as much as they suck, you'd BETTER do those hills!)! Best of luck as you face these longer runs. P.S. I lived in Dallas for several years - Richardson. I've only been in Houston for about two years, so it's not really home yet. I'm out in West Houston - Bear Creek/Copperfield area. Clear Lake seems like another planet!
