National 1/2 or Full Marathon?

So this morning Geoff and I were looking at signing up for the National 1/2 Marathon. But before signing up we decided to look at the course for the 1/2 and full. Upon analyzing the marathon course Geoff, the same one that wasn't a fan of all this crazy marathon training stated:

"We need to do that"

Does anybody know what got into him? Has he really turned into a marathon runner?? I do have to say it looks like a really good course with a small amount of runners compared to Marine Corps marathon. Looks like we might be doing another marathon...

Triathlon Update

( Pic of our doggie loving life in Virgina Beach, Va with us. Boy was she happy! )

• Ironman training is hard. I'm doing way more training now that I have a coach. I'm around 14 hrs a week of training.



• I finished my USAT Level I Coaching certification. Now I just have to finish the exam then I'm official.



• I got a new side gig. I start coaching Team In Training in January. I'll be co-coaching around 75 or so athlete's on the bike and run portions of a triathlon.



• I threw my Girls on the Run banquet last Tuesday. It went really well. The girls are great... I couldn't resist, I decided to coach again in the spring.



• Geoff is getting really fast in the water and he's enjoying swimming. Any day now he's going to be passing me up.

MN Xmas Trip

I've made it to Minnesota for my Christmas vacation. Lots of traveling this last month. November I went to Oklahoma, last weekend I was in Flordia and now I'm in Minnesota. (All the time I'm spending at the airport is getting old.)

I however am very glad to have a week and a half here to visit with my family. I was up at my sister's all weekend. Here's my nephew at their children's Christmas show. He's one of those with the big red bow on.
