The game is afoot

Last Sunday I traded in my lazy morning in bed for my running shoes, a super early start and a couple of hours of quality time with Ginger. Yup, three months of training finally paid off when at 9:30 am Ginger and I ran across the finish line of our first ever half marathon. We are totally elite athletes now.

Here is how things went down. Sunday morning the alarm went off at 5:00 am and we were out the door before 6:00 am. These are the sacrifices that you just have to make sometimes. We even managed to rope our official photographer into accompanying us to the start line.

I was pretty excited to be out there as you can see. I think that at some point Ginger and I may have even sang a lovely morning song for the whole group! Everyone looks impressed don’t you think?


Running with a large group of people is a really exciting feeling, I highly recommend it. But the only thing better is to cross the finish line and see your friends there cheering you on! I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful group of family and friends. Thanks so much for coming out guys!



*Ginger, I’m so glad that we got to run together. I had an amazing weekend and I hope we can do it again soon!!

Too beautiful for me

As you may or may not know, I started training for a half marathon last week. All was going well with training until my brother in law dropped this training bomb on me: How 1-Minute Intervals Can Improve Your Health. Really? I have to run intervals now too? So on Saturday I tied up my running shoes and setup my running app to coach me through 3 miles of 1 minute intervals. I’m still sore!

But, if you are looking for some wonderful views of my fair city, then you too should wake up at the crack of dawn on Sunday, May 6th and come for a little run with me.
