Back in 2011, I made a goal to run a half marathon. Actually I think it was my only goal for 2011. Anyway, I ran the Hershey Half Marathon in October 2011 and I was immediately smitten with the distance. We had an awesome weekend exploring the city and my kids were pretty much convinced that our family should move into a hotel.

In 2011, Andrea and I were normal. Then one day it all came crashing in on us in February 2011. What would our family think when they realize we are broke? Finally in November 2011, just 7 months after we started, we looked down on paper and realized we were one payment away from debt freedom. That’s crazy, right?

In January 2011, after a quick online search, I found a race in the fall that was close to home and I would have plenty of time to train. In October 2011, I finished my first half-marathon.

To get my tail to the finish line back in 2011, I simply ran. She had just finished her first half marathon, a grueling 13.1 mile race. "If If I can do it, you can too", she told me.
