26.2
Boy, can't turn back now. I've been doing half-marathons since 2004 now, consistently dodging the "when are you going to do a full?" inevitable inquiry. Knowing I'd commit eventually, it was always safely, vaguely sometime "in the future." But now it has a date (this year), a place, and most importantly, it has my money. I now have a date with 26.2 miles.

ha! seriously. i mean, where does 26.2 miles out of Pittsburgh get ya anyways? Beaver Falls? please.
although if you really wanted to take one for the team, you could drive alongside me blasting my pre-selected music playlist from your car's stereo. although if they don't allow iPods, they probably don't allow this.

isn't that, like, the same place? close enough.
actually, if you go out 26 miles i think you finally hit the airport. (oooh! burn on the airport!)

LOVE your cleaning tip on my blog---I will be hiding my paper towels from now on and act like "oh, my house is just always like this..."
Also-Laura Bush's bio sounds interesting! Let me know how it goes!

I'm putting in a housing request with A and Bro so team Lowe can be there to cheer for you. Go Julie, it's your birthday . . .
