So last Sunday was the big race we've been training for since July. I really surprised myself... I didn't know how it would go, how I would feel, etc... but I had a blast! Running with friends and being cheered on by family was icing on the cake.

| Saturday night dinner... carb loading at Spaghetti Works |
 |
| Before the race... our running group! We ran together every Saturday for 12 weeks. |
 |
| Spotting our fans... mile 4! Can you tell we were excited?! I just might have shed a tear or two after running passed the girls. ;) |
 |
| Nana and Papa kept the girls Saturday night and drove them to meet us in Des Moines for the race. |
 |
| The BEST cheerleaders! |
 |
| Claire dancing with Babu... Grammy was behind the camera and got some great shots! |
 |
| Here comes Justin... mile 8 |
 |
| Me! |
 |
| Crossing the finish line!! What a rush! 2:29:53 |
 |
| We did it! |
 |
| Me, Justin, Jacque, Matt, and Jean |

Great job y'all!!! it is addicting..see!!
you should come to austin and run some- 1- super sweet city :) and 2- you can run any month of the year!
i'm sure it was fine but over the years carbs the day before- they say not to do anymore. maybe like 2 or 3 days before. I just read that in a runners mag.. kind of crazy!
Awesome! What an accomplishment!
