Joel ran a marathon in September. Quite an easy sentence to write isn't it? Well I don't think it was quite so easy to accomplish. He trained for months and months (since January really) and did an incredible 3hr23min time, a massive accomplishment. Here are some photos from the weekend.
We can blame our friend Tristan Miller (
www.runlikecrazy.com) who we met a couple of years ago when he stayed with us while in the middle of his crazy mission - 52 marathons in 52 weeks - you can read our blog post on that here (
http://skandyadventures.blogspot.no/2010/09/interesting-visitor-52-marathons-in-52.html). Joel running into Tristan along the beach in Melbourne planted the seed that would end up with them running the Oslo marathon together.
We had a fantastic weekend, Joel made it through in one piece...just.
