Our first half marathon.
Great job you guys! Super-proud of you both... It must have been quite an experience to hug each other at the finish line...

Dan, it was very emotional. I never realized how much it helps to have people out supporting the runners/walkers. It is wonderful and very motivating. At one corner there were 2 little girls (probably 3 and 5 years old). They had there hands up in the air for people to give them a "high five" ...I bent down and gave them both a little slap. Duane was behind me and thought "that is sweet, but she probably just contracted H1N1". Funny
If there is ever a race in our area and we are NOT participating, we will definitely go out and support everyone in the race. I realized how important that is and keeps you moving!

Duane & Alisica,
Congratulations! Running 8 straight miles is a great accomplishment and finishing a half is incredible. You guys are very fortunate to have each other for support.
I wish that my hubby enjoyed running, but he is an avid biker instead. About the only time we can enjoy a workout together is when we are at home and he has his bike on the rollers while I am on running on the treadmill. Not the same as being outdoors, but at least I know that no matter how fast he pedals, he won't leave me in the dust!!

Too funny. I like biking more than Alisica and I can go a lot faster than she can but she can run a faster pace than me...at least for a little bit. Main thing is that we both enjoy getting out and doing something other than going out to eat.

I run for those who can't or won't. I run because I once was one of those people.
great work! i'm really proud of you (and for you)... my first half is in a couple of weeks, i'm really looking forward to writing a similar successful report.
CONGRATS! onwards and upwards from here :)
