Me, Jesus "Light of the World" Christ, and Jeremy drinking something

Jeremy and I are officially crazy. (But not as crazy as our friends who are currently camping in the Serengeti.)

We registered for a marathon. Fortunately, we've given ourselves 6 months to prepare for it. We started our training last week and bought some fancy running shoes yesterday. I think the shoes really do make a difference. I got some Brooks running shoes that are lighter than air and support my foot and ankle so well I can run without pain in my ankle/tendon/knee. Sometimes it pays not to be cheap, I guess.

We were a little bummed because we intentionally shopped at a specialty running store called Run-Tex, and the service I got was underwhelming. We sort of figured that part of what you pay for at a specialty shop is a helpful salesperson. The guy who worked with Jeremy was fine, but the person who helped me out just looked bored and barely said anything apart from "you are flat-footed and have wide feet." I actually left feeling a little worse about myself than when I went in. He found some good shoes for my fat flat feet though, so that's what's most important I guess.

This past weekend was spent in Katy, Texas with some of our favorite people. We had a great time - except I DO NOT RECOMMEND RUNNING/WALKING/GOING OUTSIDE IN HOUSTON. It is so darn hot and humid! I'm still a little sweaty. We got to see Harry Potter 5 at the Alamo, which was fantastic. As you can see in the photo, I also found Jesus.
