Celebrating...

and ecstatic that we've completed our last training run for Sunday's marathon!! Wow!! It felt awesome to finish strong, at merely 2 1/2 miles!! Yes, I say merely because it's been a LONG while since we've run that short of a distance. The kids were great, which made the run that much more pleasant. They have been such troopers during our training. I don't know exactly how many miles we've logged with them in the stroller, but I'm sure it's been well over 100 miles!! I don't have exact statistics in front of me right now, but I'll post that after we calcuate--after all it's all on the computer. I do know that we've run EVERY long Saturday run with them except our 20 miler, and Dan has run with them most every time that he's been out running. So, kudos to them!! I actually think that Katherine will miss the running once we taper down and don't do it as often. She really enjoys(ed) our Saturday runs and was up bright and early enthusiastically letting us know that "Kateli run mommy and daddy, and Joshua" So, we are done training, and we're as ready as we are ever going to be to Rock n Roll at the marathon on Sunday!! Wish us luck. Check back soon and I'll let you know how you can "run with us" on Sunday. More info to come.

Good Luck guys! I envy you. I am running in my second 10k this Sunday and my first 15k December 31st. My goal is a half Marathon in 09.

Not sure that I will ever be able to run a marathon...

Have a great time... and look out for that wall at mile 20!!
