It's official...

Drew and I are training for a race :) We don't really like to run...lets be honest. BUT we thought it would be cool to do something that we never thought we'd do, that is going to take a lot of self discipline, and something to work towards together.
So, here we go...


Drew will be running the Steamboat Springs Half Marathon (13.1mi) and I will be running the Steamboat Springs 10k (6.2mi) The Race is June 7th so we have plenty of time and
are in week 2 of our training schedules :)
We will probably make a fun weekend out of it with some friends and
are really looking forward to it!


We chose this race for a few reasons. It's close enough to drive up for a weekend, it is in June so we'd have enough time to actually run it, and last but not least this little guy was born just a few days later on June 10th, 2006.

We are running in memory of Noah.
His story brings us hope and peace.
I have learned about The Lord in deeper ways because
of this sweet little face and the beautiful faith of his Mommy.
Those being just a few reasons we are dedicating our first race to Noah Steven Graves.

(The same little guy and in love Mommy from this picture that I posted a couple weeks ago...)

We will let you know how our training is coming along... :)
