A Marathon October


When I think back on October, this image comes to mind:

Was it a fast-paced race? Or a terror-filled flee from a pursuer drawing ever closer? Or was simply a blur? I am still not sure.

Really, October just BUZZED by. I can't believe its nearly November! We were busy bees this month. Notably, Kristin completed a half-marathon with her friends. (The picture above is actually the male race leaders, of course.)

Way to go, Kiki! It was wonderful and inspiring watching you and your friends! Maybe one day I'll run another marathon, but probably not. You are the family athlete, now, my dear.

Later the same day, Kristin's husby Adam did a marathon of his own, nearly conquering the Dagwood Challenge at the Ohio Deli. That feat involves hammering down the Dagwood and fries shown below. Within 30 minutes. (Cue shock and awe.)


BEFORE


AFTER


Less than 25% of the sandwich left! (Cue shock and awe second time.) Adam said he wasn't really even giving it 110%. Sounds like a rematch is in store! I love how he's still smiling! Ahh, the Ohio Deli, with its reasonable prices and hometown feel. I recommend the patty melt and fries! No pesky stopwatch needed. :)
