Half-Marathon Happiness

This past weekend I had the opportunity to run a half-marathon with my mom and two of my aunts. Although I wanted to quit the training several times, I knew I had these ladies to keep me going. It certainly wasn't the best time I've ever run, but it's my first one I've done since having kids and I'm proud of sticking with it! Also super proud of my momma for running her first one ever and placing 25 out of 69 in her age group! Go momma go!


Before the race...

 Just starting out...

 Around Mile 9....

 Meanwhile, James was hanging out at the park at Mile 11.5 with these sweeties...

 I couldn't WAIT to see them! It kept me going through the last few miles!

And here's the finish!

 Sore and tired finishers (including my uncle, who ran the marathon)!

All in all, it was a beautiful day for a race, and a gorgeous course! We took it nice and slow and enjoyed the experience. I'm so glad I got to share it with my family!
