So I decided to run my first half marathon race, and it ended up going pretty well. I found myself enjoying it much more than the shorter races I've done (I realized that I didn't mention that I got first in my division in the Minute Man 5K I did on Aug. 8). I liked running at a regular pace as opposed to running as fast as a I can for 3 to 6 miles...maybe endurance is more my thing. My goal was to finish in a decent time and not be too miserable by the end. However, I was happy and energetic for the most part and I finished in 1:48. I ended up finishing first in my division, and I was 4th overall in the female category. The race was on Legacy Parkway which was pretty flat (kind of like running on a treadmill) and part of the entry fee went to help families pay funeral expenses for children lost to cancer. It's always nice to be running for a good cause.
Later that day we went to the Jacos to celebrate Dad's, Tawni's and Dan's birthdays. Hayden and Luke played pretty well together, and I was glad that they held still long enough for me to get a picture of them together.
