Happy Easter!

It is a beautiful Easter morning here in central Kentucky. God is so good to us! This morning as my family and I celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are once again reminded that He lives - up from the grave He arose. Praise the Lord, He rose!

The Bike

Well is has now been three weeks since I have been on my bike. The job change has really messed up my schedule. The few days it has not been raining, I have been unable to get time to ride due to work. I am hoping that the weather will be nice enough tomorrow that I can get a nice long ride in.

Half Marathon

After not exercising at all since the 18th of March, I ran my 2nd half marathon this past Sunday. I had a great time. Cameron, Brittney, and Tony from my church ran it also. It was their first have marathon. I am so proud of them. They each started training back in late December with the goal of running this half marathon with me. They all did great. Cameron finished about 30 minutes ahead of me and Brittney and Tony finished about 10 minutes ahead of me. Annie, Ryan, and Cathy were there to support us. It was a beautiful morning in Xenia, OH. We all had a great weekend. My time was slower than I had planned, but I was not surprised given the fact that I had been off the road since starting my new job.

Here is a picture of the runners prior to the start of the race:
