We Did It

Michael and I completed the Country Music Half Marathon on Saturday and we live to tell about it. In the last post, Michael was so kind about my training, but let's not forget that Michael ran every mile that did, if not more. The only difference is that he kept our kids every Saturday while I ran, and then woke up before any of us to run every Sunday morning. On the course, Michael was the perfect combination of fun and encouragement. We laughed going downhill and cringed going up hill. All in all, it was a great race for a worthy cause. I guess the question now is, when do we start training for the next endurance event?



These great photos were taken by our talented photographer friend Rich Kalonick. Check out his site here.


The family all together when it was all done.

That's so awesome! Those pictures are fabulous...the top one is rad. It's my fave. (Can you tell I've just been roller skating? I've lapsed into 80's speech;) I'm so proud of you guys. You're making me wish I did the race too...but I probably wouldn't have gotten very far.
