Run, Daddy! Run!

Charlie and I are proud to announce that Nick ran his first half marathon on Thanksgiving! He completed the race in just over 2 hours. We couldn't be there to cheer him on because it was too early and chilly for us, but we couldn't wait to give him big hugs and kisses when he got back home.

Nick has been training for this event for months now, and I have been so impressed with his dedication and drive considering he is not a runner. He has been eating healthy and working out like a mad man in order to get ready. I wish I could say that it has inspired me to get into the gym, but that's what New Year's resolutions are for, right? During his training, Nick lost 25 pounds! He weighs the same as the day we started dating nine years ago. Charlie and I love the new and improved Daddy!
