Half Marathon

I have to be honest and say that I hate posting a picture of myself like this, especially when all of my friends look so cute, but it was an accomplishment, so here it is. Most of you know that Jackie has inspired me to train for a marathon in March. This was our true starting point for training and thanks to Callie found this half marathon where we ran from Alexandria, VA to about a mile outside of Mt. Vernon. It was a very cold day, but the blues and grays on the Potomac were beautiful and I can honestly say I enjoyed it, but I also had great company! For those who don't know, a half marathon is 13.1 miles.

Congratulations! That's awesome! I'll bet it was beautiful, too -- I'm envious of your running scenery. So Cal scenery isn't quite the same.

Gina, you are amazing and such a great friend! I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't stayed back with me those last few miles to encourage and motivate me to keep going, even when you could have run it much faster. Great job and MAHALO!

Wow Gina, I had no idea! You are amazing!! I'm so proud of you. You're an inspiration to my half-hearted sprint-tri training.
