Marathon Pictures

It was a little chilly out while we were waiting for the race to start, but we warmed up quickly as the sun inched higher and higher in the sky.

Here is our pre-run photo of our little group. From left to right, Jennifer, Patty, Me and Dan. Here is a photo of me running toward the finish line. Finally!!! My Training companion Patty, thanks for running with me!! This photo was taken right after crossing the finish line and at this point I was seeing stars!!

Chris and Ethan (Dan & Bridget were there too!) were there to meet me as I crossed the finish line. Ari had a Young Woman's activity that day so she was unable to go, Devin was in the bathroom at the time of my arrival and Brennen was climbing the rock wall...that's where he was the whole afternoon!

Coming soon....marathon pictures

Okay so last night I got myself and the diaper bag all ready, I even had the camera ready for marathon photos...so I thought. Little did I know our batteries were low and I didn't pack extra. Needless to say we didn't get pictures, but I have many friends who did, so as soon as they come my direction I will get them on the blog.

So we started the half-marathon off pretty strong, at least for us, we had 9:30 for our first mile and we were a little over 18 after our second, and at ten we had made better time than our 10 mile long run a few weeks back. After that I lost track. I ended up running it in 2:27 but hey it's my first and I am so glad it's done! My average was 11 minute miles when all was said and done. Check out the elevation chart for our run, it's pretty cool. Go to http://www.dammarathon.com/pdfs/TDHALF%20course%20elevation.pdf to see it.

It is finished.
