Dan ran the SoJo 1/2 marathon in mid-October. This was the same race we both ran last year. The plan was for us to be at the finish line to cheer Dan on. We got there and the race clock said that the race had been going for 2 hours and 20 minutes. Crap! Dan was planning on less than 2 hours. So I picked up the phone to call and see where he was. Then looked up…he was crossing the finish line. Dang….I didn’t even have the camera out yet. So here are the shots I got:
The clock had been timing the marathon runners who started 30 minutes before the 1/2 marathon. Dang it! Oh well, we were still there to cheer. Dan didn’t do as well as last year, but beat the time he got on his 1/2 marathon in September. He was happy to not be as sore afterwards.
Both Dan and I ran the Highway to Hale 10k last weekend. Yep, Alicia attempted a 10k without ever actually running the 6 miles in training. The most I got up to was 5, and it felt awful. But, I wanted to see if I could actually do it.
Times:
Dan: 51:49
Alicia: 1:06:44
Looking forward to the Turkey Trot in November with the fam! First thing—get some new shoes!
Way to go! I don't know about you, but I have really been appreciating how fast we were last year.... I only hope I can get back there some day. :)
