I can finally check "half-marathon" off the list! Today, Saturday November 3, 2007, I ran the Santa Barbara half-marathon which is 13 miles LONG! I finished in 2 hours, 10 minutes, and 24 seconds. Not bad for a first-time racer, if I do say so myself-and I do! That put me at a 9:57 minute mile, so basically a 10 minute mile...for 13 miles.Whew!
Dawn ran the half with me, and did really great. She finished in 2 hours, 42 minutes, and 38 seconds. She ran a 12:25 minute mile.
Here are some pictures of us BEFORE the race. Look how happy we are!
And Below are the pictures of us AFTER the race. I know, we still look good. Look-we got medals! I haven't got a medal for anything since High School, it was quite exciting!

Lovely pics of us. I'm glad we got to run the half- marathon together. Well almost together. 30 minute difference. Good luck on the full marathon with Julie. Oh, Katie Holmes just ran a marathon in New York. It was on the internet today. I hope your test went well. Call me, so we can crack open a cold one later....
