Race

I ran my first race since 1998 in preparation for the Lewis and Clark 1/2 marathon. It was the JCC Labor Day run 10K (6.2) miles and man was it a race full of lots of hills!!! My brother in law, Andy, actually ran also and he won the whole race! Way to go. Then he ran back out to find me and helped me finish my last mile. He was calling the hills "happy hills" and although I didn't quite see them as happy hills-I think he was joking around-it was encouraging to have him help me finish the race! I finished at 1hr 2 minutes and 4 seconds-about a 10 minute 7 second mile average! I was really excited about that. Here are some pictures from race day.

So close to being done!
