the long distance connection

My brother-in-law Jeff has taken to running. He wanted to get started and when they came to visit in July, he and I ran the SDT with the dogs. He has since continued to run and just recently completed his first event. While I was running the Bizz marathon, he was running the half-marathon. He ran a 2:18 which is great for a first go at that distance. We try to keep in frequent contact, via email and phone. I want to encourage and support his running efforts. He really enjoyed the event and is now up for more of them. We had hoped they would be able to join us for the Apple Hill run, but that is not going to work out. So now he is trying to make Clarksburg happen. I think that would work out even better because it's a half-marathon and we would be able to run it together. However it works out, it's good to know that he is enjoying the miles as well. Keep running!
