Mike was very excited to get started. He has been waiting on this chance for two years.

the boys waiting....
playing at the park...waiting...
Yeah! the first time we saw him after 4 hours!
He wanted a cheese burger from Whataburger. Very unusual fro a runner to pound a burger in a race, but that's what he felt like eating. BTW, it didn't taste that good to him.
We sent him back out and went to town!
The kids at the Sam Houston Statue. This statue is on the side of Highway 45.
Back to the race, this is Huy, Mike's pacer for miles 60 -80. Thanks Huy! After 50 miles they allow you to have a "pacer," it helps so much b/c usually you are running in the night and your mind isn't working very well.
more to come...
