Donald Duck!

I got up early this morning to follow my brother-in-law's run in the 2010 Walt Disney World Half Marathon. His public "tweets" were few and far between, I imagine due to the number of runners (not to mention the cold). According to the website, 17,099 runners finished the 13.1 mile trek through Disney properties. I should mention that his wife, my sister-in-law, also ran today.

Chip time was 3:26, culminating a months-long effort to position himself for this tremendous achievement. Check out his blog to get the whole story.

So while I'm now thinking about a nap here in my nice warm house (temp outside is 18 degrees at 11:00am!), suffice to say that this is a great day for my brother-in-law, for his wife and for the family (including my wife) down there in person to support him.

Congratulations, Byron! And you too, Melanie!
