Pete and the Miami Marathon



Hey everybody,

I finished the miami marathon this morning in about 2 hours and ten
minutes. It was pouring rain for half an hour before the start for
about the first 20 minutes of the race.

It was insane, absolutly the craziest marathon I have done yet. After the rain cleared out everything was fine.

Other than that the ocean is beatiful and the temperature has been in the
70's. I can't wait to get back to wisconsin and freeze.

See you all soon
~Peter

Pete at the Miami Marathon! Go Pete!

I wanted to remind everyone that our own little Pete (ok, not so little of course) will be participating in the Miami, FL Marathon this weekend.


Let's all wish him fast and warm thoughts on Sunday morning. In case you want to follow him and see results here is the link to that site.

I'm hoping he will write up a little story for us when he gets back, complete with a couple of pictures :)

GO PETE!!!!!
