Well, for anyone who wants to know… I don’t know if anyone actually reads this thing, but on Sunday May 6th, I ran my first ever FULL marathon with my brother Jordan. We crossed the finish line at 3:53:49, at the exact same time in front of a huge, cheering crowd. I’ve written a detailed story about the experience on our marathon blog and you can check it out here. You can also read about all of our training that we went through to get there. It was one of the best feelings, finishing those 26 miles, dog-tired, and aching at all my joints. Silly, isn’t it? But I’m so glad I did it, and now I’m wondering, when’s the next one? Ha ha, we’ll see, Jord…. Maybe next time we’ll qualify for Boston!

I can’t imagine I’ll get much sleep tonight, but I’m going to try. My parents get into town today, and I’m going for a big pasta dinner at my Uncle Bill’s and Auntie Joanne’s house tonight. I’m hydrating like crazy and eating like there IS no tomorrow… because tomorrow is the Vancouver International Marathon. I have to stay alive and moving for 42.something kilometres. But I’ve got a great parter and I think I might make it. We’ve trained really hard for four months and it’s all coming to a climax tomorrow at 7:30 in the morning! I have to wake up at some ungodly hour just to make sure I’m awake and ready for this thing. I’m going to eat a big breakfast in the morning, and get on the skytrain to meet Jord. I’m so nervous, and I think tomorrow morning is going to be ten times as bad. I hope I’m not sick. Anyway, don’t want to bore you with any more details, so just wish me luck!!!!!!
