Well, I finished my first marathon just over a month ago. Wasn't sure I'd do it again, but I decided that I needed a goal, something to look forward to. I decided to run Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, MN on June 17th. Last week I printed out another training program to put on the fridge. My son, Mark, saw it and said, "Are you doing another marathon?" Yes, I told him and asked if he wanted a challenge. He said YES! Wow. It tickles me to think my boy (of almost 23) wants to run/hang out with me. Just yesterday, my #2 son, Bill(y) decided that he wanted to run the marathon as well (he should be home from the Army for good around May 20th). Now maybe you can imagine that I'm nearly giddy thinking that I'll do a marathon with both of my sons. As Ed always says, "How cool is that?!"
Another Marathon?

That's fabulous, Joan. Get some pictures this time.
Welcome to Our Family Blog.
That's a story for the newspaper! Good luck to you all on the training schedule, and can't wait to hear about the event.
Oh, Joan. That sounds like so much fun. Well, I know (I've heard, that is) it's very hard work to get ready for a marathon, so I wish you good luck there, for a start. And then I wish you good luck for the actual event, for a finish. And, of course, the fellows as well.
Congrats on finishing the first marathon, good luck at Grandma's. And.....welcome to the BLOG! Carol
