Feeling good...

about a lot of things! It's awesome to reap the fruit of hard hours in the heat, humidity, and car exhaust. It's awesome to see a sea of people running. It's awesome to see a friend's face standing there cheering for you (thanks Kelly and Kristine). And it's awesome to see your husband make it possible for you to go and do that (thanks honey for watching the kids). And today, it's awesome to get a 'relaxing, stretching' massage compliments of him! That's supportive.

13.1 is challenging, and it's also satisfying! Tyler was so excited for me, he wore the finishers medal to school. He walked up to his teacher and announced 'my mom's a half finisher!'

Meg's little 3 year old took this photo...she was telling him to move over. So funny! :)

Hanging out the night before. Thanks Diane for also coming over!

Seconds before we started (just a bit cold!)...of course I ran with my little point n shoot. :)

We were group C, mixed in with the marathoners (ran the first 6 miles together). The guy running with the balloons is their pacer. Crazy to think, we were running only half of what they were!!

Runners as far as the eye can see!! Already running...the balloons is the start line.

Just finished...our fans!! Nothing like seeing them coming across the finish!
