1/2 Marathon!

Krista & I ran our 1st 1/2 marathon today!  It was the first race for both of us!  Not our 1st half marathon race....our first race!  Dream big, right?!  The irony is that Katie was supposed to run with us and was the only 1 of the 3 of us who knows anything about running.  However, since she is out of commission for a few months, Krista and I had to do it ourselves.  We are proud of ourselves for doing it especially considering that it was BAD weather!  It was raining, cold and very windy!  At 10.5 miles, everyone was forced under a shelter for a few minutes because of a nearby storm with lightening.  We were allowed to run again a few minutes later and we were VERY disappointed to find out that the race officials diverted us on the course and took off a 1/2 mile because of another impending storm.  After we crossed the finish line, we then discovered that we were cut short of the 13.1 miles.  UGH.  But, we finished in 2 hours and 14 1/2 minutes.  Not bad for a couple of rookies!

Fired up and ready to go!

Wondering if this was going to be my ride across the finish line?

Posing with my super cool hydration belt. I felt it made me look like I knew what I was doing!

Krista and her glowing shoulders : )

Another photo to document that we were really going to do this!

Cheesy photo taken while running!  Sweaty and gross?  CHECK!!!

We're still standing and we are DONE!!!

The medals that we will probably wear around all week!  : )


The following video goes out to Katie, with love...we were going to do another video later but the weather didn't cooperate : (
