1/2 Marathon 1/2 Marathon

The weekend before Thanksgiving I ran the Route 66 1/2 marathon... 13.1 miles!  It was my second 1/2 marathon (first one was in OKC back in April) and I don't think I'll ever do MORE than a 1/2... but I do think I'll do more 1/2's.  Here are some pics from the race...

My running group... we run during our lunch hour and also on the weekends
Shauna - Stephanie - Cindy - Shannon - Nikki - Amy - Kyla - Misty - Me



Before the race
Nikki - Misty - Me - Shauna


Stephanie - Shauna - Misty - Me

We just roped Stephanie into running over the past few months and haven't quite convinced her to run a 1/2 YET... but she ran the 5k at the event and did awesome!  The finish line for the 5k was actually along the 1/2 marathon route and Misty and I ended up seeing her right as she was finishing.... couldn't have planned it better if we'd tried!  Nikki is expecting so she didn't run the 1/2 this time, either, and instead ran the 5k with Steph.  They were our cheerleaders during the run and also took some pics along the way...
