Running
So I've broken down and taken up running. I was feeling very unhealthy and after Dale's great effort to change his lifestyle, I decided I owe it to our family to do the same. I started out by walking with friends a few times a week and have now moved up to running every other day. Yesterday, I ran 5 miles. As most, if not all of you know, we are holding a half-marathon in honor of Aron this November. Dale and Dan really wanted to run the Seattle Rock and Roll half-marathon in June. They went to register and all the spots were full. They were both very disappointed as they had started to train for it. They decided they didn't need any organized course; they'd just make their own! What better honor than Aron, whom we sadly lost in May. We are opening the race to family and friends and if anyone is interested in participating, let us know. We may take donations that we will then give to a local animal charity.

That is soooo awesome that you are running that much! I'm jealous! I hit 2 miles the other day and thought I was going to die! I'm trying to work up to do the Rock and Roll 1/2 marathon next year. I'd love to do the run for Aaron in November... don't know if I'll be up to 1/2 marathon then but I could do a 5k for sure. Let me know as plans progress. I'd love to be a part of it!
