So yesterday morning while most of you were probably still snoring and drooling on your pillows, Brigham and I went out with our little running group and ran TWENTY MILES! Yes, we did it! It took us 3 hours and 20 minutes, but we did it. The last couple of miles were pretty painful, I must confess, but for the first time I can actually imagine myself running a marathon. Do ya'll know just how far twenty miles is? The next time you're driving a decent distance, restart your little trip odometer and notice how far it truly is. Then you'll know how amazing (or completely insane) we are!

Wow. Twenty miles is an awful lot. About 3 hours and 20 minutes worth of running, if I reckon right. If you strap a DVD player to the person in front of you, you could watch the EXTENDED version of L.O.T.R. in that time.

I think you just might be able to do it.. But don't kill yourself trying.

Christa, Brigham: There is a new invention out there and available. It's called an AUTOMOBILE. You should try one sometime. It is made to take you 20 miles when you need to go...and you did need to go didn't you? Don't tell me you did that but had nothing at the end of those 20 miles you had to do!?!

The first guy who ever ran a marathon died. Why does everyone want to copy him?

You have my respect at your abilities. Yes, steve has shown me how far a marathon is while we were driving. It's a LONG way. R-E-S-P-E-C-T

I can't help but keep holding my breath for you and saying my prayers to keep you safe and healthy (no injuries) when you tell me that stuff. I will be glad when it is over! Too risky for the likes of me!!

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
