Conference Weekend -- Oct. 4th

Darren has been training for his Marathon in Dublin on Oct. 26th. As part of the training, you run increasingly "long runs" once a week. The longest run you do before the marathon is 20 miles... Well, there was a friend of ours in the ward that planned to run the Koln Marathon. He asked if Darren wanted to run it too, maybe only doing the 20 miles and walking the rest. So, Darren signed up and was ready to go -- but, being in the military, things always change, and the other guy was sent TDY to the Azores (tough assignment!) ... So, Darren was left to decide if he still wanted to run ....
Of course he did ... Did he only run the 20 miles? No! He ran the whole thing!! Nope, that's not him in a skirt, or as part of the diaper chain gang ...
THERE he is!!
How he can still smile at the end of 26.2 miles, I'll never know ....
CONGRATS on another great race!!!
