Champions

We are happy to report that we both finished the mini marathon, without major injuries, and with smiles on our faces! We started in corral 'U'...which means we were toward the very back of this mob of people. The start of the race was like the old Atari game "Frogger" We were the frogs, and the walkers were the cars.



It was partly cloudy throughout the race and the temperature was in the high 50s, low 60s which made for a perfect run. We are proud to report - not only did we finish, but we ran the whole thing! We didn't plan on running the whole thing (quite frankly 13.1 miles seemed a bit overwhelming due to our underwhelming attempt at training), but mile 6 passed, mile 8 passed, mile 10 passed, and before we knew it we were at mile 12. Pretty good considering our max run before the race was 5 miles (Jacob) and 6 miles (Michelle). We definitely plan on running it again next year. Come out and join us!
