Today was my husband's birthday, so I figure what better time to share a little from his busy weekend in Frederick. He and our neighbor friend decided a while ago they wanted to run a few races together. Ben and I did our first ever race together 2 years ago. It was the Susan G. Komen race for the cure. I worked hard for those 3 miles... Ben, wasn't fazed. He runs a lot. You know, lacrosse, soccer, just for fun... but no races really. Then, he and Neal did a 10k together. A 10k which my husband finished seconds before I crossed the finish line... for my 5k. That cut pretty deep, but oh well. Anyway, this past weekend, in the freakish 80 degree weather at 8:00am, they ran the Frederick half marathon together. Successfully I might add! 1 hour and 53 minutes or something... I won't tell you how long it takes me to do those 5k's. So, here's to my husband, the gazelle- a runner, a great friend and husband, and cuatro de mayo's birthday boy!
nearing the finish line...
success!
kids love him too!
happy birthday to the greatest guy I know!

So... I don't know how I never knew about this blog. But I'm glad I found it :) By the way, I used to eat lunch at that canal you're standing next to with Erica McMonigle/Czufin. We used to work at ths DSS on the corner.
