History in the Making

Today's post has nothing to do with training, well..not directly. I'm just feeling really blessed and privileged to be living in this time and place. At 5:01 pm yesterday, the very first official gay wedding ceremony began at San Francisco City Hall. Here's the full coverage: Same-Sex Marriage at SF Gate. Check it out people, it's history in the making.

I just wanted to give a big shout out to those couples who tied the knot yesterday as well as the ones who are intending to wed soon. Congratulations!! It's been a really long road, and I know that they all must have toiled through decades of struggle. But in the end, it sounds like they never lost sight of what was important: each other. I wish them all the best.

So how is this tying back to training? Well, after reading a lot of their stories I can't help but think about when my turn might come around. And if it does, I can't tell you how hard the training schedule would be for that event. Preparing for a marathon is one thing, but preparing for a wedding dress and pictures that my mom will be showing everyone is an entirely different ballgame. By the time the wedding rolls around, I should be fit enough to run the Ironman!

Note: I was just kidding. All I'd really want out of a wedding was for my friends and family to have fun and get drunk. ;)
