So I know that a lot of my posts have been about running -- and it is starting to seem like that is all we do lately. But at least it's something healthy -- and what I am most happy about is -- I got Sam into it too!! :)
He used to make fun of me and our friends - the Phairs for signing up for runs and paying money to go run -- when you can run for free. He thought we were so dumb. Well -- looky, looky -- Sam just ran a HALF MARATHON!! And he wont stop signing up for things. He's already done a bunch and is signed up for a bunch more. He also has bought a street bike and is out riding around on that any free time he has. Two days ago he rode around for 23 miles. So he might start signing himself up for triathlons soon -- we'll see. I love that he is out there active -- and it's so fun that we can do these events together now.
The half marathon was the farthest he's ever run -- and we really didn't do a very good job at training. We only trained for about 4 weeks and we were definately not consistant. But he stayed with Lisa and I the whole run and he did awesome!! I was SO, SO proud of him as he crossed the finish line. I was much more happy for him then I was for myself -- although I was happy to be done since I am pretty darn sure I ran with a broken toe.

Sam in action -- he would pour the cups of water all over himself at the aid stations (which were ever mile -- SO nice)
Lisa and I -- I don't know where Sam was -- he either stayed right in front of us - or right behind us. I think he preferred the behind view ;) ............
Lisa and Joel after the run -- she ran the half with us -- he was a show off and ran the full :)
Me and my man....................
Run Wards Run!!
