Memorial Marathon


Jim ran a half marathon at 4:00 this morning. It had to be that early as you can imagine the weather in Qatar by 6am would be too hot to run a 1/2marathon. His stats 13.2 miles in 1 hour 37 minutes! Not bad for a young man of 41. If you look closely, the run even drew blood. The safety pin holding his number chaffed his skin so much that he bled. Well--the marathon was called Bataan Death March memorial run. ..in honor of those young men who lost their lives in Bataan during World War II.

Sure, he tells you the blood is from chafing but he really got a nipple ring while in Qatar.
