TC Marathon!
For those that don't know, I recently ran the Twin Cities Marathon. It was the culmination of a few months of hard work, and was worth every minute of it! I had been training with my cousin Tim, who has ran Grandma's, NY, and Chicago. It was a gorgeous day and I had a great time running. Mindy and Laura (Tim's wife), my parents, and my Aunt and Uncle Pete and Mary Lou were there to cheer me (us) on as we got closer to the finish line.
The hardest part: was the last 6 miles. Going along Summit Ave is truly grueling due to the slight incline that you must compete with along the way.
The most memorable part: seeing Mindy and Shane and Kellie as I ran through the final 100 feet and having them cheer for me!

You Will Be Missed
There will be more posts later. It has been a busy October already, but when you have to say good-bye to a dear sweet man, it makes everything else seem trivial. On Wednesday afternoon, we got the call that Grandpa Johnny passed away. We were sad that we missed seeing him one last time, but we are glad that he is no longer suffering. He will be missed by many. It has been a good but difficult weekend to be with family as we remember a great man.
We love you, Grandpa Johnny!!
