It has been a rough ride for Jon and his family, but thankfully his surgery was succesful and he has seen a steady improvememt, to the extent that he plans to run a 5k race next month - thank God!
The date is Sunday August 9th and the full details are here - http://www.fi5k.org/
Of course, I do church on Sunday mornings, so I can't run with Jon, though I would love to. But if you want to run in my place, please feel free. Go ahead and register - and say a prayer for Jon's total and sustained recovery as you do.
