Ten years ago, Whitney and I ran the San Francisco Half Marathon with another friend. We were fairly fit in those days between running and biking but doing a half marathon was no easy feat.

Look how grainy pictures were ten years ago. That's me, Whit, and Ann
On that fateful day, I met the man who would become RookieDad Alec. A mutual friend introduced us shortly after this photo was taken. Since I was sort of in the middle of something (Umm, excuse me, I’m busy running here! Who cares about your friend?!), I didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to that cute guy. We officially met a few days later.
