Mini Marathon...13.1 miles!!!

Sam and I at the finish line!
Sam, Aunt Liz and I...We forgot Lyn:(
Yea...here I am running to the finish!
It's Over...Yea!!!

Liz, Lyn and I ran the Mini Marathon yesterday...we have been training for the past couple of months. Our time was 3 hours and 40 minutes(our watch)...not bad if I do say so myself! Our goal was to stay under the 4 hour mark and we did! We had a blast with all of other fellow walkers and the crowd who came out to support all of the runners and walked. When I was coming down to the finish line the announcer yelled out my name which was very cool! Joe wants to do it next year together. Thanks to Lyn!

What a big moment! You're awesome! I have no idea what that accomplishment feels like, but I bet it is amazing, and you should be so proud. ( I hope to know next year, I just didn't get started running soon enough)

Ok, now I am offically jealous. I wish I would have committed to do it with you all. Next year I am in, but if you run with Joe, I will be walking it with your mom! I'm proud of you all. Congrats.
