Oh Jeesh!! I’m so sorry. I just realized how long it has been since I’ve posted anything new for you :/ Well, some of you already know – but I am training for a 1/2 marathon. It is taking every bit of free time that I have. I am up to 9 miles and only have to get to 13. I am running most of it – but there is a bit of walking in there. I only gave myself about 14 weeks to train. And I could only run a mile when I started — so, It won’t be perfect – but I’ll find a way to get it done

I ran a small little race with Christian a couple weeks ago. It was in the evening (after I ran 8 miles the day before). It was pretty horrible. My legs were so tired. The only saving grace was it was really really pretty! They had a back road of Hecker, IL lined with tiki torches – hundreds of them! And, most every one of the 1000+ people  running had on blinking lights and glow bracelets/necklaces. So Pretty! I tried to take a picture –  but of course it was so dark it just turned out to be a blur of color in the pitch black

This is us after the race. YES it was hot, YES we were tired, YES I may have had a beer when it was over

Brooke, Ryan, Jamey, Abby and Hannah all cheered for us while we ran! Many others cheered for us in spirit and couldn’t wait to hear about the race when it was over Christian finished  a minute or two before me – however, we don’t really know anyone’s official time. It appears the “official results” aren’t too accurate compared to our clocks. I really like the time they had for me better – but I don’t think it is correct :/
