Austin 1/2 Marathon

Michael amazes me all of the time. So a little over a month ago, he had signed up for the Austin half marathon thinking that by signing up he would have something to work toward and participate in. Well he has been training for his upcoming ride in April (the MS150) for sometime now and is in pretty good shape for riding but running is an entirely different physical experience and the most that he had run prior to today's marathon was 7-8miles on a treadmill. His answer to my concern was "babe, I'm Kenyan!" I love that he has such confidence and drive. I'm the type that has to be physically ready before my mental state comes on board and so I talk myself out of a lot of things in the over-thinking process. Michael is the type that once his mind is set there is no going back. So he awoke early this morning, drove himself downtown, and competed in his first ever half marathon. He finished the 13 mile course in just about three hours. What more can I say? He's amazing and we are all proud of him.
