Can't walk...or figure this out

The long anticipated half marathon came and went last Saturday. You know that things in your life have changed a little bit when people ask how the race went and you are happy to tell them that you finished. I never used to be content with 'just finishing' but I was last Saturday. It made for a long 13.1 miles when I started to get large blisters during the first mile. Mile 12 seemed to last forever for me and Jen felt a little bit like Rocky during her last two miles (more like the Rocky with the swollen eyes than the Rocky at the top of the stairs jumping in victory)

The best part about the whole day was that in the finishing shoot 7 Eleven had a booth with free food. I crossed the line and then got myself a hot dog and a chocolate milk! The lady holding the banana and Gatorade next to me looked at me as if I had just made a huge mistake. I simply looked at her and said "what? you think I ran 13.1 miles for a banana? You're crazy! Give me a footlong!"

The next best part was the free massage. There was a long line for the free massage so Tyler and I went over to another booth where the massage therapists didn't have a line. It looked like it was for pay or for something special but we asked if we could have a massage anyway. I was sure they noticed how good looking we were and our fragrant smell because they agreed. During the middle of the massage a lady came over and said that we were illegal and that only the people who worked for 4Life were allowed to get massages here. I assured her that my friend Dave runs their office in Taiwan and that I would be sure to thank him. She thought highly of Dave and the therapist continued for another 10 min or so. It was Great! But now Jen and I have sore legs and it is difficult to navigate the stairs and even though Hilary helped me switch the language I still have Chinese setting when I log into my blog to make changes. I guess this is a work in progress. I guess all posting will come from me until we fix this or Jen learns to read Chinese characters.

Finally started Our Own Blog

Jen and I have finally started our own blog. It has taken us quite a while. For some reason when we go to blogspot.com the website will come up but it is always in Chinese. We haven't been able to figure that one out yet. Tonight I was home with Jen when she was looking at the families blogs, which she does quite regularly, and I translated the website so we could set up our own. We are crossing our fingers that this thing works. In the future I imagine that Jen will do most of the posting. I'm afraid that Cam will read this and correct all of my spelling errors. My ego couldn't handle it.

In other Price family news. Last week our friends Tyler & Sarah Howland came to stay with us. We did a little triathlon here in Logan. Even though we took first and second in the race the prizes weren't what we hoped for. I got a 50% off coupon to ICON Health & Fitness. This would have been great if I didn't already work there. I also got a $20 gift certificate to an adult store. I guess that's what you get when you do a race that is put on by a college fraterity...
