2009 Year End Running Totals

Why I Run

“Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win it. Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one. So I do not run aimlessly, nor do I box as though beating the air; but I punish my body and enslave it, so that after proclaiming to others I myself should not be disqualified.”

- 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Sophie - Our New Puppy!

Well, Friday night we picked up our new (and first) puppy, a 6 week old puppy named Sophie. I grew up with dogs and have been longing for one for a long time. After our move and one of our beloved cats passed away, it seemed like a good time. We chose a Golden Retriever because of their reputation as great family dogs, easy to train, and intelligent. That, and neighbor's on both sides of us have them, and our friends here in town now have 2. Wendy originally wanted a small dog, but we could never agree on a breed. She kept coming back to a Golden, so we decided to just take the leap. I may be a proud parent, but you can't tell me she's not cute. Take a look:
