Review: Ryka Running Shoes

Am I the only one who finds it difficult to say "no" to free things? No? Good.

So, when the Parent Bloggers Network offered me a free pair of Ryka MC2 running shoes, you can imagine my answer. But I haven't forgotten about you, my friends. You can sign up at Ryka to win your own pair of sneakers. From now until October 25th Ryka is giving away 50 pairs of shoes and 50 performance tees every day.

1/2 Marathon: Part 2

As some of you know, I've been training for my second half marathon. My first one was last October in San Francisco. Today was the day and I finished with a time of 2 hours, 4 minutes. My goal was to do 10 minute miles and I averaged about 9:29. I also beat my time from the last race by 14 minutes. It feels pretty great.

All the family came out to cheer me on at the finish, which always gets me through that last stretch.
