Dad, I love you! You were sometimes a pain in the rear during my child and teenage years, but I love you now and always! Thanks for your love, support and advice!
By the way, the rugrats have something to tell you:

My 1st (and probably last) 1/2 Marathon
Wow! What a day! I completed my first, and more than likely last, 1/2 Marathon this morning! I am sooo sore today! You have NO IDEA! It was a beautiful course taking you through historic Winston Salem, through the Wake Forest University campus and back through.
Anyways, I beat my goal but was discouraged that my body was done before I was. Usually when I run a race, I have to walk or slow down when I am winded and can't breathe. Today, I was fine with my breathing but my legs/butt/knees were BEGGING me to stop! I am not used to my body telling me to stop since it is usually my lack of oxygen. Either way, I completed my 1st 1/2 Marathon. It is too early to tell if I will do it again but give me a week and I will let you know! :)
I have a Garmin GPS watch that tracks my every move while running. It's a nifty little thing! Click the link and see my stats:
2010 Mistletoe Run 1/2 Marathon
The worst part was that the "Hot and Now" sign was on at Krispy Kreme! Guess who got a dozen? Hey, you don't burn 1500 calories for nothing do you?!
Sorely,
