Matt and I decided last fall that we wanted to train for and run the St. Jude Music City Half Marathon. Unfortunately, while training I c ame to the realization that my knees were not going to let me participate. However, Matt kept strong to the training regimen and completed his first half marathon in 2 hours and 32 minutes. Matt's mom came in town to help me with the kids so we could all go watch and cheer him on. We were and are so very proud of him!
