Yesterday Kirstin and I ran the Colfax 1/2 marathon. We had to be at City Park at 5:00 am for the race start of 6:00 am. It was Kirstin's first race and my first half marathon. We were finished by 8:15...15 minutes of this was spent in the first mile trying to get everyone from the start line and out of the park! The weather was absolutely gorgeous...no wind, lots of sun but early enough that it wasn't too hot!
We have been running a couple of times a week for several months now. We do runs around Washington Park, visit, push Burke in the stroller, and sometimes even go for a "cuppa" at the Bucks afterwards. This has been a really special time for me not to mention the obvious physical benefits. We hope to continue the running...with a goal of running several "races" every year. The next may be a marathon relay and we might even get Adam G. to run a 5K as part of our relay team!
congrats carla and kirsty! So glad it went so well for you guys. I knew it would. we're so proud of you guys!
