I hear they will be flying May 4th in Cincinnati, Ohio. The same day that Pete and I will be joining a few friends to run a Marathon. My first marathon.

I declared a few weeks ago that I would run this after talking to a dear friend of mine who will be running the half. My sweet Husband, Ironman Pete has been encouraging me for some time now to do one. When I asked him last night to run it with me his reply was" take away your glory"? I replied that it wouldn't take away anything from me, but only add. I am so excited.

Pete is so considerate of me, but this time I had a feeling that he wanted to run it too. Since we moved to MN he hasn't been training for any one particular race and I know he likes to have a goal in mind. Anyway...I am so excited to be doing this with him. I just have to convince him that he can run his own race...not mine. I am much slower.

Please keep us in your prayers. We have a lot of miles to put in between now and May 4th, 2008 and I am sure another new pair of shoes. I love new running shoes:)

Blessings

You are going to do great! I am so glad that you guys are going to do this. Good luck with the training. There is going to be 4 or 5 runners from Hendo and 2 or 3 from Nashville. It will be an awesome weekend. I am going to jump in Trey's back pocket and stand behind IM Pete to block the wind so it should be a pretty easy run. That's my strategy as of now. I hope that we get to see you guys over Christmas, if not have a Merry one.
