just 9 weeks to marathon day

Thank god the snow is finally starting to melt.. we need to start doing outside runs if we hope to not only finish our 13.1s but also beat our previous times. This will be our third time doing the Burlington race, and we're going back to where we started. I'm doing the first leg, through town and the $%#&*! belt-line, and G will do the glorious finish along the lake-front bike path (where she'll get a shot of beer from the good folks at mile twenty-something). Feeling a little nostalgic, I decided to dig around in my photo albums to see if I couldn't bring back some memories of that virgin run.. oh yeah, that was a torturous but amazing day.. see.. we're smilin'! But looking at our bodies.. wow, have we come a long way since then! So cool to see it.

Our first marathon together (2-person relay) in 2008. Holy crap!
