I am very excited to say that we FINISHED the half marathon. In the process of training I have made a very good friend, Michelle. Here we are with our boys picking up our race packets. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures with her on race day. We started together, but she finished 6 minutes before me. She is SO sweet!
Training with Chris has been wonderful. I am very glad we did this together. This was taken before the race. We could not have asked for a more beautiful Seattle day! It wasn't too hot and clear blue skies.
After the race we met up with our friends Kim and Schuyler in the beer garden. Chris met Schuyler at his first job out of college. His wife Kim is a sweetheart, and apparently a REALLY good runner. She finished just two minutes behind Chris!
We had a lot to celebrate.
We did it! We ran 13.1 miles. We ran without walking up the hills throughout the course- it is Seattle after all. We even ran up the hill that was the finish line, that was just cruel.
Chris finished in 1 hour 51 minutes.
I finished in 2 hours 13 minutes.
We just might do it again.
