Half-Marathon

Mission accomplished! My friend and I entered and ran the Ranchos De Albuquerque half marathon. It was far...we"ll see if this feat will be replicated in the future but for now here is the proof in pictures

Before the race, I am always so nervous and spending quality time with the porta potties


This is about 3 miles in when we looped back past the starting area. Only 10.1 to go...


We had to go through a lot of mud to start off and ran down and ran down a canal road to finish but for the most part the race stayed on the main roads past some beautiful houses. It was a nice route to take and the weather was overcast and cool so it could not have been more perfect for running. Here we are at the finish line


And finally here is the after shot....so thankful for my running partner and being done!


PS Our awesome homemade shirts say 'Run, eat, sleep, repeat' on the front and the back says 'If you can reads this we are still warming up' we got lots of comments from our fellow marathoners ;-)
