Emily's Half Marathon

Well I did it!!! I ran my first half marathon. It was on April 19th and I got to have Dave, his parents and our kids come and cheer me on.

As I was finishing, the first three Marathon runners were coming in. Can you believe they averaged a little over a 5 minute mile? We came in at the gateway shopping center down town.
This picture is a little dark but it was fun to have my family there supporting me.
Tyler was sad that he could not run the last little bit of the race with me. We will have to do that next time.
This was at the 9 mile mark where my family came to give me high fives. Jake was shocked when he looked up to see me. I guess a two year old doesn't really understand what is going on. Now it is all that he talks about.
I am glad that I did it and that most of the race was down hill!!
