1/2 Marathon




I love to run and do races anywhere from a 5k to full Marathons! So when new people start "running" it makes me very excited! I talked my sister Katie to sign up to do a half marathon and stayed on her all summer to make sure she was sticking to the training plan and not slacking off!
Well this was the big weekend of the race and last minute I decided to sign up and run with her and keep her motivated through out the race! I was very proud of my sister and so happy that I was able to run with her! I think she wanted to kill me at mile 10 when I refused to let her walk or when I kept telling her I could see the finish line to keep her motivated but she did it she finished and she did not walk !
Fred and I before the race!
Shirts from Shannon!
And they did!
Entertainment for the kids during the race
Kreighton making sure I got my red bull!

I think this was at mile 8
All done!
As soon as we were done with the race we were off the Iowa City to cheer the Hawks on to a VICTORY!
