Inspired to Run

Last weekend Steve ran his first marathon in Victoria, British Columbia.

As I was waiting for Steve to reach the finish line, I was watching a bunch of people come in and I started to get a little emotional (only on the inside). These people had been running for hours and were still going. I was so inspired, I decided to sign up for my own race. I won't be running a marathon, I'm just going to run a 5k, but it's a start.
For those of you in the Seattle area who would like to join me, I'm running the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. For information, the website is: www.seattleturkeytrot.org

I don't look like that when I run. Do I??? I certainly hope not.

Congrats on a major accomplishment.

Maybe you only look that way after running 26.2 miles...

That's so awesome, Steve. And Kelly, I'll be cheering you on from a few thousand miles to the east. I'm looking for a good Thanksgiving Day run, too. That's a great idea.

I always get choked up when I watch runners finish a marathon...
