I've Got A Lot of Ideas Brewing for Posts...

But for now, just a photo of Noah and Jordan working the mile 8 water stop of the Boston Marathon.

It was awesome.
We had so much fun.
You gotta train them young....
(you WILL run, you WILL run....)
(no pressure, though...no pressure... really.)

A big shout out to all my friends who ran today and kicked butt--but ESPECIALLY to Maria, Rose and Petra who totally rocked it and all went sub 3:30!! Wahoo!
