Big J's Awesome Weekend

For those of you who have read my blog for any length of time, you know that my hubs is a runner. He loves to run and I am so proud of him. This weekend Jon and a few members of the gym we go to competed in a marathon relay and placed first!! FIRST!! (Marathon relay is where you run x amount of miles and then hand off the wand and the next person runs x amount of miles and so on until you reach 26.2 miles.)

He also ran for his work team AND ran an additional x amount of miles to get in his 20 miles for his marathon training. Yes, yes, complete nutter. Next month he will run his very first marathon and I'm so excited for him. Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.
I know I need to start packing my real camera and stop taking cell phone pictures. Yep that's a Mohawk, his signature running do and yep that's a camo-jacket-mullet-wearing-no relation-to-us-gentleman sitting behind him. Gotta love Ohio.

Awesome!! I've got a 10 mile race this weekend, but 20 miles on my schedule--ummm.. yeah--he's a rockstar--I can't imagine running a race and then tacking on extra miles to hit 20. Basically, I'm pushing my 20 miler back to next week!

I don't know why ANYONE would want to run for 26.2 miles, but more power to them. I don't know how they do it. go Jon!

Speaking of St George, I just ran it....soooo SORE! I'm glad he continues to run after races, cuz I want to never run again right now! Gives me hope that next week I'll strap the shoes back on. LOL
