A Family Run

This year's big New Year's resolution was to run a marathon. I figure this will be the toughest physical challenge I will ever face, and have tried to prepare myself by buying some training books. Unfortunately, all the books seem to agree that running is the key to preparation. I had hoped that the books would come up with some better way of getting ready....one that involved chocolate and cheese. My Dad sent me an awesome gift to help me with the training process, a new heart rate monitor/exercise watch. I like to think that this watch will miraculously increase my ability to run, but at the very least it lets me track what I'm doing. Today I took it out on its inaugural run. Tony joined me on his mountain bike, so it turned out to be a family affair. It would have been the perfect family outing if Starbuck hadn't gotten into it with another dog 25 meters from the house.

On a brighter note (literally), it was still light out when I finished at 5:30 pm...Spring is on its way!
