Friends -
While my friends are cruising in the tropics and backpacking around Europe, there is no place I’d rather be this Spring Break than in Oklahoma getting ready to run for 24 hours!
I think that maybe the only thing crazier than running or 24 hours is trying to organize an event like this in only 3 months! I didn’t know what to expect for this inaugural year, but friends like you have melted my heart time and time again. Mingling with people who care for soldiers like I do will never cease to choke me up.
It’s hard to believe that this Friday is finally the day! I’ll start running at 5pm Central Standard Time at the track at my alma mater, Yukon High School. And I won’t stop, of course, until 24 hours later. The goal is to complete 135 miles in that time.
If you’re going to be in the metro Oklahoma City area, I want to invite you to come out and run a few steps with me. I keep joking that my real friends are the folks who will show up at 1, 2, and 3am in the wee early hours of Saturday morning. 
I covet your prayers. For my body, for my mind, for the entire event…
Faith, hope, and love to you all. Beat Navy - always!
