Congratulations Darren!!!

Not only did I miss blogging for two months ... I missed things like, Memorial Day & Father's Day ... What do these two things have in common? Darren ran a 1/2 Marathon over the Memorial Day weekend (just under 2 hours) and over the Father's day weekend he ran his FIRST FULL marathon (4 hrs. 25 min. 8 sec.)!!! WOW!! Way to go!!
We wish we could have been there to cheer him on ... but, we were in the states... We did get to go to his 1/2 marathon, which was in Luxembourg. Shelby, Devin, and I went to see a movie (in English:), and then walked to the areana to see him run in-- lots of fun!
Darren got to run his marathon in Tromso, Norway ... the Midnight Marathon... how cool is that?
Despite excruciating pain in his shin (that knocked him off his feet for a week+ during his training!), Darren is determined to run another marathon ... (yes, I think he should have his head examined) ... so, come October, he and I will head to Dublin, Ireland for him to run and me to shop! (hope my shins hold up;)
