School Marathon


Almost forgot - we did complete our 13 mile bike marathon. We were blessed with good weather. We raised over $540 for our school! Thank you to everyone who donated!

Twin Cities Marathon













Well....it was a wet cold day for a run. James ran in rain (sometimes downpouring) for most of the race. He had a great run. His goal was to finish below 3 hours 30 minutes. His official finish time was 3 hours, 27 minutes, 2 seconds.
We watched many of our friends finish as well. It is hard to describe the feeling of watching all of that hard training come to an end. I have a feeling this won't be James last marathon. It is more of a question when the next one will be scheduled.

Twin Cities Marathon 5K and 1 mi.







We had beautiful weather for the boys events for the Twin Cities Marathon on Saturday. Adam ran the 5K in 26 min. 48 seconds!




Jack's mile run wasn't timed, but he was proud of his run.




Next running event is Wednesday - cross country 1 mile.

Cross Country Meet - Oct. 3






Adam and Jack participated in a cross country meet on Oct. 3 (1 mile). Adam's finish time was 7 min., 43 seconds and Jack had 7 min., 56 seconds. It was a nice warm up for the Twin Cities Marathon 5K and 1 mile for Oct. 4.

Traveling Soccer Team

Adam had a 2 day tryout for a traveling soccer team for the spring of 2009. He made the team! One of the highlights will be a tournament with teams from all over the WORLD!
