Jan 13, 2008: Disney Marathon
After more than four months of training and preparation, I ran the
Disneyworld Marathon
with my Team in Training group, finishing the 26.2-mile course in 5 hours and 22 minutes. Jen
was not far behind me, finishing in 6 hours and 14 minutes. All 10 members of our team (and two coaches) crossed the finish line just as the five members
of our half-marathon team had done the day before.
Aug 20, 2007: Marathon Goal
I recently established several goals for myself, including running a marathon next year. In order to meet this goal, I've joined the
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's volunteer endurance sport organization,
Team in Training to help prepare for the 2008 Disney Marathon on January 14. In addition
to training for a marathon, I've also committed to raising $3000.00 for the Society. Please take a few minutes to visit my
marathon page to learn how you can help me reach my goal!
Jun 1, 2007: Moving
After three years in the historical district, Jen and I are moving
into a new condominium in the
Gate Parkway
area of Jacksonville's southside. While old turn-of-the-century houses certainly have great personality
to them, they are also on the verge of falling apart if they haven't been restored. Jen is looking forward to
being in a new place that has more than one electrical outlet per room. Come to think of it, so am I!
Apr 28, 2007: New Jersey Visit
Jen was home in New Jersey to shop for a wedding
dress with her mother and best friend, and also help her dad celebrate his birthday on the 4th. This was a
big one — he's officially old this year. Happy birthday, sir!

Mar 25, 2007: Quit Smoking
After 24 years of smoking cigarettes, I finally quit with the help of a new drug called
Chantix. The drug eliminates the chemical addiction to nicotine so that you
only have to struggle with the habit of smoking.
Mar 9, 2007: Gate River Run
Jen and I ran in the 30th Gate River Run, which follows
a course through downtown Jacksonville. I finished with a
final time of 1:55:42. Jen was right behind me at 2:05:05.
Jan 6, 2007: Disney Half-Marathon
Jen participated in the half-marathon with Team in Training.
This also happened to be her birthday. What a way to celebrate! She finished in 3:24:36. Not bad at all, considering
that she ran more than 13 miles!
