Peter and I have been training for the last 12 weeks for a Half Marathon. Neither one of us has ran one before and thought we'd try it. I wanted to do it to get me into shape, and that it did. I lost 11 pounds training for it. I only limited what I ate for the first couple of weeks and then the holidays kicked in. I think this is the first time I've lost weight over the holidays instead of gaining. Last weekend we went to St. George, UT and ran in the Painter's Half Marathon. It was so much easier than I thought it would be. I didn't push myself too hard in fear that my body would give out and not finish but I actually think I could of ran longer. It gave me such a high afterwards that I think I am now addicted to running...race running anyway.
My cousin Scott and his wife Elizabeth, Peter and I, my Uncle Dennis, and my brother Jeff.

Me....2 hours 4 minutes.
Can I just say the sense of accomplishment is amazing! I'm looking forward to next year and hoping to get my time under 2 hours.
