{Half Marathon}

After I ran my first half marathon back in October, the husband decided that he wanted to do one with me!

We trained off and on together and separately. Sean's lucky as in that he travels and has access to a gym inside everywhere he goes and doesn't have to push a stroller in the frozen winter months. But, he does have an intense work schedule that does/did interfere with his training. So pros and cons for both of us in our training - either way, we did not prepare as well as we should have.

Our race was down in Huntsville State park and was a fundraiser for an orphanage - great cause.

On Friday Feb 8 we left Evette in the capable hands of our dear friends the Hasslers and the husband and I drove the 3 hrs down to Huntsville and spent the night at a nearby hotel and got ready for the race the next morning.

It was much different from my last race - it was much smaller, maybe 200-300 people as opposed to 900ish. Also, it was a trail run, so we raced through the trails in Huntsville state park - it was beautiful!!

We had so much fun running together. We started off pushing a little too hard, but we quickly found our rhythm and enjoyed our race. It was seriously one of the funnest "dates" we've had in a long long time - loved it.

None of these photos are mine - I copied them from this website

  

  

  

We finished the race holding hands - so cute lol

  

After the race they had a grill with hamburgers so we scarfed those down, drank tons of water, jumped in the car, and drove the 3 hrs back to Dallas

So much fun. So proud of my husband.
