Last Half

That is to say, last half-marathon, this year. October 15th was a beautiful day here in Utah, and I started the day by running 13.1 miles. Sounds like fun you say? It was! Allison and I run together many mornings but we don't race together (she is much faster than me :) ) But her little break (not 9 months, more like 4-6 weeks) from running helped her to slow to my pace and so we ran the race together. It was good; I actually think it was pushing me to be faster. I had a PR (personal record) time of 1:52 (previous PR time was 1:59). The venue was nice-really took care of you food wise and stuff at the end (thanks Chick-fil-A and Winder Dairy).
As part of the event they had a kids race and my kids really wanted to do it. They were super excited to get shirts and bib #'s (Trev!) and be allowed to eat the race food (they try to always do it, and I am always trying to stop them!). Super cute-we finished in enough time to see them run-I offered to run with them, but they politely declined. Really, they did great. If I get some training in them, I am sure they could do a 5K. It's just hard to pace themselves, but we could definitely do it. And they are interested.

No finish line pics-but we have our finishers medals. We finished strong in our age category with 4th and 5th place-.2 seconds different

Kids-toward the end of their race

Finish line for T!

Ribbons (in their T's and with bib #'s on)-so cute!!

The other kids-their friends-who did the race too. Was only $10 and I had a coupon code that made it five-totally worth it!
