I'm married to a rock star!

I interrupt this blog to brag on my amazing husband. Yesterday, he ran his first marathon. I'm incredibly proud of him. He trained so hard, not missing any of the runs on his training schedule. His goal, besides simply finishing it, was to finish in four hours. His time was four hours and fifteen seconds. If that's not a lesson in setting goals and having discipline, I don't know what is. We were there to cheer him on at the finish line. I think this photo says it all.

  4. That's very cool. It's my goal to run a half marathon someday and my best friend from college is training for The Flying Pig in Ohio.

    Way to go to your husband (and you for rooting for him).

  8. I couldn't have done it without the support of a beautiful, caring and supportive wife. She is an inspiration to me. Thanks babe for the shout out.

  9. Hey, Julie! I left you an award on my blog today. Thanks for your encouragement! BTW-my husband competes in triathlons. He'll be competing in the Gulf Coast (70.3) in two weeks, so I know how much training is involved in your husband's sport! Best wishes!

  10. Congrats to him!!! From someone who can barely walk 30 mins on the treadmill I know that takes a ton of work!
    My daughter ran her first 5K on Sunday and she was so psyched! What is in these runner's blood?
