On Friday July 15th we ran in our first half marathon! It started at 10 P.M. For those who don't know that's about the time I get really tired. So I figured that Friday during the day I would be able to take a nap to help me have more energy, well that wasn't in the cards for me. My car decided to die instead. The starter on the car was out, so we had to call the insurance and luckily for us we have towing insurance. We got it to the shop and by the time all this finished, it was time to get ready for the race. Here was some of the highlights and low lights:
* Weird people run the race (including a dork kid wearing jeans and a belt who won his age group)
* Do not take the first bus because all you do is sit and wait for everyone else.
* Waiting for instruction that never came
* Everyone crammed to start the race
* Everyone dressed up in glowsticks
* Hot water at the aid stations
* Finished the race in 2 hours and 19 minutes
* No one cheering at the end
* Lastly, no medals for us when we finished because they gave them all to the 5 and 10k people
We will give them another try next year because we really enjoyed running it, but we'll be more prepared and as will the race is what we've heard from them.
Our summer is going great! We get to spend a lot of time running together and spending weekends together.
