Over the weekend. Dan ran the US Airforce Marathon in Dayton, Ohio. This is the 13th marathon for him and will run 2 more this year. His time was 3:40.19. Better than his average, he also finished 8th in his age bracket. While in Dayton, we stayed with his sister Sue and family.

We arrived home around 7pm Sunday, just in time for me to repack. Monday morning I flew to Dallas, Texas area to visit with my parents till next week. Last month my mother fell and broke her hip, she is back home now after a several week stay in a rehab nursing home.

I fortgot to bring the cable that connects my camera to the computer, so I will post photo's later.
