Marathon!

Yay, I'm done running! At the end of last month, I ran a marathon in FT. Worth, TX. It was an awesome experience. It's called The Cowtown marathon, and it was in downtown Ft. Worth. I finished the race in 5 hours and 4 minutes. That put me in 866th place or something like that, out of 1200 runners. I looked at a lot of other people's times, and I was totally out run by a 77 year old guy, by like an hour. Sad, but true. In fact, there were a lot of old people that beat me by a lot. I got 19th place in my age division, out of 29, and I ran a pretty steady 11:30 minute mile. Not long into the race, I saw an older guy taking a picture of another guy who had stopped to pee in the bushes. It was pretty funny!! I was also super excited to see my family and friends on the sidelines cheering me on.

Having some snackage around mile 6. Katrina was supposed
to run with me, but she couldn't because her knee was injured,
and I was so sad she couldn't run with me. But she still came
down with her family and cheered me on! Thanks guys!

Just before crossing the finish line!! And don't worry,
I know how super sexy I look in spandex. Don't be jealous.

Katrina and I after the race! She is the only reason I was
able to run the race, and I was so sad she couldn't do it with
me. And her cute baby Evelyn, who along with Brinks and
Ady, trained with us nearly everyday. They were troopers!

My sweet supportive family, I love them!!!!!
