Marathon Time!!

Okay, so it was a half marathon but I DID IT! It was a great experience. It was a lot of work to train for it, but I really enjoyed all of it. The race didn't go exactly as I had hoped. I feel like it was a good learning experience though. Before the race, I wasn't sure it was something I would do again, but I am planning to run another in the spring. I'm even considering doing a full! We'll see how that pans out!

My goal was to run it in under two hours. My official time was 1:58:28.

Kassie ran the 5K that day as well. She had Nick less than 2.5 months before running it. She stayed in great shape through her whole pregnancy and it has definitely helped her get back in great shape in no time. She ran her 5K in 29 minutes!

We are very lucky to have so many people who support us. Thanks to those of you who made donations in my name for the race. Also, thanks to Mom, Dad, Scott, Nick, Cale, Aidan, Aunt Kenna and Blaire for coming down and watching us run! I think I run a little faster knowing that there are people waiting for me at the finish line! (Also, a big thanks to Aunt Kenna and Blaire for calling me and waking me up when my alarm didn't do the job!)

Here are some pictures! <3
