As most of you know, Joel has been training over the course of the last 9+ months for Grandma's Marathon on June 19, 2010. He ran his first marathon in 2006 and finished! Initially he said he had no interest in doing another marathon, but once we learned of our move to Duluth, he got the itch. We have learned that 'run' is a culture here in Duluth all on its own. He's been doing very well with his training schedule despite the huge time commitment (and investment in good running shoes). With 25 days left until marathon, we are getting excited to participate in this huge attraction weekend now that we're considered 'locals.' As an added excitement, Joel is "running for a cause" and donating all proceeds to Duluth MN Teen Challenge. For those of you who haven't yet seen, check out his explanation here:
