Hello?.....This thing on?.....

Seriously, though. Hello, and welcome to my initial post.

Here's a photo of Justin and I running the Thundercloud Turkey Trot. It was five miles and it took us just over an hour. The clock showed 1:06, but we spent about 5 minutes from the gun waiting to crose the starting line.

That was back in November and Justin and I have been running a couple of times a week since then. We're making steady progress, although Justin might not admit it.

I used to run pretty fast in High School, but that was 12 years, 3 kids, and 80 pounds ago. I want to keep the kids, don't have a choice about the years, but I'm ready to lose the pounds, or at least a good chunk of them. So, I plan to talk a little bit about my journey of getting faster, including losing some weight.

Justin and I are currently training for the Freescale Half Marathon
and will run in association with Team Justin . We've been running 4 miles at a stretch, so we'll need to up our distance over the next 5 weeks. Over the next 5 Sundays, we'll run 5, 6, 8, 10, and 5 miles. Should be fun.
