Do you know how hard it is to cry, cheer, ring a cowbell and take photos all at the same time?

Over the weekend Joe completed his first marathon. It's one of the classic acheivements of course, like climbing a mountain, and I couldn't be more proud. At our Derby party this year we were talking with another guest about why there is no reality show about marathons when every person entered is a success story before the race even begins. I can't speak for the networks but after watching close up for years I can attest to the truth in that. From the days when he came home with icicles on his eyebrows to days he baked and burned he did it. He could have stayed planted on the couch a thousand times but he didn't. Instead, like Nike says, he just did it.

Way to go Joe.
