City of Brotherly Love


On Friday, Matt and I fly out to Philadelphia for the marathon weekend. This is Matt's last big race of the year, so keep him in your thoughts and help him to have a good race.

I have been watching the forecast every day and it keeps going from rain to perfect running weather. I just hope that it stays consistent the whole weekend, so that Matt is prepared.

Speaking of Matt, he has been quite busy lately with his racing team. It sounds like he is really enjoying himself and they start serious training at the beginning of next month. He will be either running, swimming, or biking every morning. His next big race that I know of will be a half-IronMan in Panama City, Florida in May. Several people from his team go down together and get rooms and train, so he would be traveling in a group. He has to find out if I can tag along. Although, I do not relish the drive down to Florida, I don't want to miss it.

So check back here next week for photos and details of our trip. Hard to believe Thanksgiving is almost here. Even more strange is that Matt and I are running races on Thanksgiving morning, but they aren't the same race. I would have never guessed I would be going out on my own, but at least my race is one mile shorter than Matt's. That limits my dinner roll consumption to just two at lunch.
