Hey Russ

I don't know you, but thanks for the encouragement on my blog. It is busy times being a bishop, but also many blessings and opportunities.

I used to be a lot more serious with my running. but the last few years I have struggled. I am hoping to run a marathon this fall. I did Boston back in 2006 and I would like to qualify and go back again someday.

Hi Dustin. I don't know you either, just happened to stop by your page and saw the Bishop comment. I'm nearing the end of my time as Bishop and it's been a great experience, and a couple years ago I was able to do some serious training for ultras but that's tailed off since then. You've got some serious speed! I hope to do Boston one day, but I'm not sure if that's within my abilities as I've tried and I'm still 5-10 minutes away. Anyhow, thanks for the reply and best wishes in your ministering and training!
