Thirteen



About 13 weeks ago Ben decided that he was going to train for the Leavenworth half marathon. About 13 runs into his training and he was feeling good, loving the results and thinking he had found a new hobby. About 13.1 runs into his training he injured his knee, bought a new pair of shoes and started icing his knees after every workout. About 13 days ago he hit a wall and wasn't sure that he was going to make it but he rested and on Saturday he reached his goal--13.1 miles in one hour and fifty minutes. Way to go Ben!



And about 13 hours later. . .we were having some fun enjoying the Oktoberfest festivities in Leavenworth!





Meanwhile. . .back in Lake Stevens, Henry was having the time of his life hanging out with the Westendorfs!
