Once again, a completed marathon

Tom ran the Houston Chevron Marathon for the third time on Sunday, January 18th. He had hoped to qualify for the Boston marathon, but hip trouble, a foot problem that his doctor has been unable to ameliorate, and a cold prevented him from giving his peak performance. He decided to take the run more easily than he had planned and to make his goal just to finish the race. And he did. I caught his smile as he finally reached that last stretch of the race down Rusk toward Minute Maid Park. Our children and I are very proud of him.
