1/2 Marathon

WOW!!! That was hard, awesome, emotional and exciting!! So we got there at 6 am and had to ride Trax up to the starting point. I am glad that everyone had showered or was at least SURE this morning. We got there in enough time to ditch our stuff and get stretched. They started counting down and we were off. It was a great run and even greater, Mindy stayed with me the whole time. It was awesome to cross the finish line holding hands with Mindy and then to have most of our family there to meet us. We both were very emotional and had to keep from crying a couple of times thinking about what we were doing. 13.1 miles in 2 hours and 29 minutes. We averaged about 11 minutes and 25 seconds a mile. The hardest was the last 3 miles but the last mile was a breeze cuz we knew we were done. Pics to come I have to get some from Mindy and download my camera. Just wanted you all to know I was alive and made it (ran the whole way).
