Hurrah, my first real blog. I thought this might be a fun way to keep in touch with my friends and family, and anyone who’s interested in what’s going on in my life.

It’s been a whirlwind of a year so far, and writing makes it fun for me to look back and see all that has happened. Who would have guessed that 2008 would bring on marathon training and wedding planning?? So exciting.

Lindsey, Casey, and I are already setting out on our next marathoning adventure – the 2008 Bank of America Chicago Marathon on October 12th. Look forward to stories and anecdotes of our second training experience. Hopefully we’ve learned from our mistakes, and we’ll be ready to improve on our times come fall.

Casey and I have set a wedding date! Mark your calendars for May 9th, 2009. The date and the location are really all that is planned right now, so there will be lots of fun wedding updates to come.

I hope you enjoy reading and check back often for updates. Please feel free to post comments, as I am a huge dork and I love them:)

Today brings our first run since Sunday’s marathon – a nice short 2 miles. I’m surprised at how much I’m itching to get out and run again. All the resting and eating has made me feel fat and lazy. Time to get back to it!

Rain rain go away…

Happy 30th birthday, Rebecca!! Wish I was there to celebrate with you.
