13.1

Some milestones are meant to be marked, and since you're my friends, I will tell you that I ran 13.1 miles today in Vancouver, WA. My girlfriend Shannon invited me to join her for a half-marathon when her running partner couldn't make it. It was a stretch for me to bump up my training in order to make it - but it was with a huge sense of accomplishment that I crossed the finish line.

I'm sure there are several lessons I may share with you on the whole topic of running, but for today I just thought I'd say, "I did it." :)
