Now don’t get too excited because it’s not what you think. Last weekend, Diane’s sister-in-law and her 4 nieces came to visit. Diane’s brother (the husband and the dad) stayed in Oklahoma to “work”. Yeah right. He went golfing, taped the Ohio State game, had a poker game and watch Ohio State beat up on Michigan State. I don’t blame him though because I don’t think I could handle having 4 daughters. I had all I could handle with Kari. I asked him one time, “how do you handle having 4 daughters?”, and he replied, “that’s why I drink a lot.”

The Relay
Jason and Michael (my 2 sons for those of you who may be reading this and don’t know) and myself are going to be running a marathon relay in Charlotte, North Carolina on December 8th. I am running 13.1 miles, then Michael runs 3.1 miles, and then Jason finishes with a 10 miler. It should be a lot of fun and it will be cool running a relay with my2 sons. Hopefully the next time we run, we will all run together. Jason and Michael are going to be running a half marathon on Nov 4, so it will be interesting to see how they do. Jason has been training hard, and I know with Michaels work schedule, it’s hard for him to be consistent in his training, but he should be able to do it, just maybe not as fast as he wants.
Run For A Special Cause
It seems that for every cause, there is a 5K. Please help support this noteworthy charity.
Denver Marathon
The Denver Marathon was by far the worst weather I have ever run in. I’ve run in colder weather, but never cold and rain. A lot of people didn’t show up and there were quite a few that didn’t finish. There were about 1350 runners that finished, and I beat just over half of them. I wasn’t happy with my time so it looks like I’ll be running another one come spring time
Starting Over
So far 2 marathon, 2 disappointments. I am very competitive and expect nothing but the best from myself. Both of my marathons have been somewhat crappy in my mind and I have to do better. So I’m starting this new blog and I hope that my next marathon is much better than than the first two.
I was diagnosed with MS about 4 years ago and I am one of the lucky ones. I don't have too many problems associated with it, and the disease has actually slowed down. I took up running 3 years ago just to see if I could do it. So far I've run 3 marathons in a year and a half.
