Dear Friends of my mother, Ginger Hearn;

For those that do not know, Ginger is currently at Hillside Medical Lodge in Gatesville Texas struggling with the cancer, a broken hip, and broken pelvic bone. She will be staying here as long as she survives. I recently visited her for a week and she has not been well, but we had a good visit and was glad to spend what time I could with her. If you would like to visit her, and she is awake when you do, she would love the visit and kind support of getting her drinks, foot rubs, and back scratches. The info for Hillside is:

If you want to catch Larry Macon, try looking for the San Antonio lawyer at the finish line of a marathon race.

A partner in Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, Macon has logged enough miles running marathons to complete more than ten Texas to New York round trips.

So far in 2016, Macon has run at least 80 marathons. Not bad for a lawyer who has also celebrated more than 70 birthdays.

Holding a Guinness world record for the most marathons run in one year—a record he has broken five times—Macon expects to run races in Seattle and Portland this summer.

Macon doesn't even worry about crazy airline logistics stopping him from participating in races.

"I usually have a back up plan so if I miss one race I can go another," Macon told Texas Lawyer.

Indeed, the Akin Gump partner even almost finished the Boston Marathon in 2013, when two bombs exploded near the finish line, a tragic event that left many dead and wounded and was later determined to be the work of two brothers. It also stopped the race and Macon.

"I'm the luckiest man in the world," Macon said after that race. "I was at mile 25, when I was stopped and was told, 'You can't go to the finish line.' "

Although some runners complained at the time about being halted, Macon had perspective."They had to understand, something had happened that was slightly more important than the race," Macon said.

He then started on a tortuous trip to return to Texas, which included running an additional nonrace mile to catch one of only a few cabs and finding himself penniless and hungry because he had left his belongings at a hotel, snagging a free meal from a restaurant employee who wanted to honor his race performance. When he finally boarded a plane, Macon, who was still wearing his running clothes, recalled that his appearance triggered a few skeptical glances from fellow passengers.

In the end, Macon, who in his professional, nonrunning career, has logged more than 30 years of first-chair trial experience and tried more than 100 jury cases, did not get credit with Guinness folks for that April 2013 race. But he did get one with the Boston Marathon officials, and he has continued to go the 26.2188 miles of distance multiple times on average each week.
