Hartford (Half) Marathon 10-8-2010

October 8th finally came, and I didn't die. I even finished the race, all 13.1 miles of it. My friend, Crystal Adams, ran it with me, and I couldn't have done it any other way. It was so great to have someone to talk to and support/be supported by. Those last two miles were the longest 2 miles of my life, and I'm glad I didn't have to run them alone.

Another miracle of the day: Shayne was able to get all 4 boys to downtown Hartford in time to participate in the kid races at 9:30am. That might be more amazing than 13.1 miles. I'm so proud of my boys, and excited that they all want to be runners too!
