More Pics from the Race...

These are some pictures taken from the race. This is me running somewhere after the 5k mark... most likely it is about the 1ok spot. Why do I know this? Because I took off my 1970's headband after 5 miles because the sun had come out. While it was a good thing to keep the sweat from the eyes, I didn't want it to cause the "white band" on the top of my forehead. Ha!

This is Chandra and I finishing the 1/2 Marathon. Whoo Hoo! I think we're looking pretty dang good for 13.1 miles, eh? We were actually talking most of the way. And in the last half mile, we were talking and encouraging each other. Now, for those that have been keeping track of our time, notice it says 3 hours, 2 minutes. Remember, that's the time from when the race started at 7 AM. It's 10:02 AM at that point. We didn't start our run (get to the starting line) until around 7:40 AM. So, that explains why we finished in 2 hours, 22 minutes.

Finally, this is a picture of Chandra and I after the race. We had just gone through several stages after finishing - water station, banana station, Dunkin Doughnut station, and chip removal station. So here we were, VERY excited, and ready for our shining moment! We had accomplished an awesome goal... that just means we have more to come. So that's why we're smiling so big for the camera!
