Half-Marathon Man



About 6 months ago, Gene decided to take up running. He is not one to do anything halfway. Over these months, he has gone from not being able to run even a mile, to running his first half-marathon in San Antonio in November in 2 hours 8 minutes. He recruited buddy Calvin to train with him for that one. Then last weekend, he ran the Dallas White Rock half-marathon and improved on his time by a whopping 8 minutes, finishing at just a hair over 2 hours. His training schedule is rigorous and he sticks with it - running even when it is 25 degrees and windy outside, claiming it is "good training." Wow, I am proud of my hubby!

Another post later about how his techno-geek tendencies have spilled over to running.... that one will be entertaining, I promise!
