Marathon 2007 Update: We Did It!
Just a quick post to inform those readers who were curious about the status of our marathon training…my sister Janis and I completed the Vancouver Marathon this Sunday in a time of 3:53:49, over 6 minutes faster than our goal of four hours.
We had been chronicling our progress over at our marathon blog, which is where you can go for the full story. Also, we have already uploaded several photos of the day; if you like you can watch a Flickr slideshow of them (new Flickr slideshow interface!).
Thank you very much for all of the support; the short little posts that I have written about this quest have always received the most comments of any of my posts on any of my blogs. Special thanks to Shane Spargo in Australia, who followed our story from all the way across the world.

Wow congrats! I don’t think I’ve run a total of 26 miles in my life, so I’ll duly impressed!

Talking about marathons……….and combining them with worthy causes, I have an idea I’d like to run by anyone who is willing to listen, and to get their take on the idea. This holiday season, my colleagues and I were thinking of organizing a running marathon as a charity event in support of breast cancer research. The marathon’s participants would be only male models (well, actually, hot male models). You choose a male model that you find particularly hot and sponsor him in the race with your donations. I found a reputable online modeling agency to source the models from (ondisplaymen.com) too. So, what do you think?
