It all started at Christmas last year, Tommy's brother Lance annonced that he was going to run a marathon. We all thought he was joking, afterall, he was holding a cookie at the time! Lance indeed did start training to run a marathon on January 5 and Tommy followed his lead and began training in February.All of those weeks of training lead to this week, the 'taper' they call it in the running world. Typically, the guys run about 40 miles each week for training. In one week, they meet the ultimate challenge as the run with 40,000 other runners in the New York City Marathon. Lance and Tommy are part of the Lance Armstrong Foundation Team for LiveStrong. We have almost $2,500 left to raise for the LAF, to donate, visit: www.livestrong.org/grassroots2009/thomaswnyc09
Best wishes to Tommy and Lance as they achieve this goal! We are so very proud of you both!

When do you leave? This is really exciting! I saw Tommy's picture in the Texan. I really though there should've been an article about you doing the 1/2 marathon! I think it is awesome. Miss you
