My partner

Becky and I may not train or race side by side since we have different speeds, but we’re definitely partners in this big old race called life.

Fox River Trail in the wintertime

One of the better pics I’ve ever taken…the Fox River Trail in wintertime…I’m very spoiled to get to run up and down the Fox River year round.

My boys on the home stretch of the kid's 1-miler.

The family that runs together…often eats a lot together a short time later.

Crossing the finish line.

Do finish line pics get any better than this? (End of my first half marathon in September, 2010)

The St. Louis Marathon starting line.

At the starting line for my first marathon: 2011 St. Louis Marathon…before the sun came up…before the nasty hills…before the 90-degree temps in April…

One of my favorite marathon posters. At the Illinois Marathon Expo, they had a whole bunch of them displayed.

A beautiful day to run 21 miles up and down the Fox River Trail through Batavia and North Aurora.

I might have to hire out my boys as photographers for races...look at those paparazzi skills from inside the trunk.

More motivation from my boys.

We'll miss the headbands

We miss the headbands, Chuck. And we miss you. So much.

Fox Valley Marathon - The Finish

The finish…thank goodness…and a huge sense of accomplishment at smashing my sub-4-hour goal with a 3:52:48.

Rainbow at the starting line of the 2011 Fox Valley Marathon

Most rainbows indicate the end of the rain. This one at the starting line indicated that all the rain was just beginning at the 2011 Fox Valley Marathon…

More to come…as I take them…
