Tomorrow starts the paper work and test prior to "moving in" to Methodist on Thursday for the transplant process. Today I recalled at this point last year training for the San Francisco Marathon. Susan and I were doing 18 and 23 miles on Sunday mornings. So this morning I put on my San Francisco Marathon t-shirt and did the Rice/Herman Park run. It is only 1/3 of last year's effort, but I could still experience the sweat and Houston humidity. My Marathon this summer (the transplant) will at least be an air conditioned environment.

In any race a cheering section really makes a big difference. Please know in advance that I am very grateful to family and friends for cards (to our home address) and email sallyshipman@hotmail.com . Your cheers mean a lot. Thank you and onward............ SS
