Becca and I are doing the inline marathon in Duluth this weekend. When we signed up for it last April, we figured that we would have time to train for it. We were wrong. Tremendously wrong. The marathon is 26.2 miles (roughly Silver Bay to Duluth). We have only been able to go roller blading 4 or 5 times since we signed up. Of those times, we only made it 2 miles, 7 miles, 10 miles, and lastly, 12 miles. Just barely over the marathon mileage. I expect to be completely exhausted this weekend.

Some of you have been asking for access to our wedding images. As of now, we don’t have to official pictures until tonight. We are going to be picking them up tonight and then I can work on getting them uploaded to the Photo Album .

Johnny G was able to give us a bunch of the photos that he took. I didn’t upload all of them, but there are quite a few. Upwards of 50. I talked to Brian last night and he said that the official photos number around 900 or more! It may take a while to get all of them uploaded.
