You'll be excited to learn they just renewed the contract for an additional 10 years with an option for 5 more years. And they're only 3 years into the original 10 year contract.

Well, training for the LA Half started a couple weeks ago but due to life and weather, I did my first run with the group today. Just a little over 4 miles, again racing the sunlight, like some reverse vampire or something. Pacing was a bit slower, since I’m running with the missus and my youngest but we did just fine!

Nice sleep in this morning. Out for a bit of breakfast, then the usual clean up and some furniture moving, since the downstairs ceiling fix got moved to the day we get back from our Thanksgiving trip. Gotta get some things out of the way now.

LA Half Marathon training began for us yesterday! We’re once again running for Team World Vision, to help bring clean water to those who have none locally.

My goal is to match or beat my donations from last year! Around $2500.

You can donate now if you feel so inclined…OR…the Tuesday AFTER Thanksgiving is Giving Tuesday, where all donations will be MATCHED by other generous donors! Your donation will basically be doubled!

Thank you for your help!

Team World Vision

Begin a journey of personal and global transformation by signing up for the 2026 Los Angeles Marathon today! You and the world will be forever changed when you start moving to provide life-changing clean water to vulnerable communities around the world. Join the team now!
