Congratulations to you and Megan! So happy for you.

Awesome Jason! Congratulations to you two.

From Jake K on Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 18:17:17 from 67.177.11.154

Congrats!!! Did she say yes with full knowledge that you ran on the treadmill yesterday?

From Bret on Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 19:22:10 from 72.91.143.44

Congratulations Jason! - does this mean you may relocate too?

From Rob Murphy on Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 19:32:05 from 24.10.249.165

Well done Jason. You will post a general invitation to the entire fastrunningblog right?

Thanks, everyone. It was about time after 3 1/2 years.

Jake: She has forgiven me, but I haven't. No, actually not bad, but too bad not to run outside given that there isn't a flat section in Chestnut Hill. Megan has been known to do 18-20 mile long runs on the belt. I opted for it to save time. As it turns out, even if there is a difference between the mill and the road (I won't start that one!), running 6:50-7:15 3 days in a row WILL work your legs. Well, my legs.

Bret: Yes. I have been planning to move after school. I'm not sure where we will end up because I am supposed to be on the job market (unlike secondary schools jobs, you really don't have too much location choice for colleges and universities). At this point in my life I just want to be with her and be able to run. I'll know a bit more about job prospects when MLA sends out the list in a month.

Rob: Anyone who can make it to Toledo, Ohio is welcome to come. Honestly.

Congrats Jason! That's great news.

Thanks, guys!
