Well, the big day came -- Saturday Glenn and I ran our first half marathon. It was quite an experience. We definitely have been bit by the running bug and are planning our next race. I absolutely loved the whole exprience and to make it even better it was pretty sweet to be able to do it with Glenn. We both did better than we expected, especially Glenn considering Friday night he played in a softball game and pulled his hamstring. When he came home limping I thought it was a joke but he really pulled it. He was a real trooper through. He went thinking he would try it but thought he wouldn't make it very far with his leg and he finished in 1:55. I was able to finish pretty close to my goal in 1:45. I ended up ranking 13 overall for the woman and 4th in my age division. I was actually shocked but totally excited.

Glenn and I right before the race. It was pretty fun being about to do the race together even if we are both pretty competitive :) In the background you can see Lake Geneva. It was a beautiful course to run.
Here's a picture of Heather at the very end of the race.Here's a picture of Glenn and he is crossing the finish line.
My parents brought the kids and waited at the finish line. It was such an awesome feeling to see them cheering us on. Katelyn and Mary came to cheer us on too. One of the best parts was having our family and friends waiting for us at the end.

It was so much fun to be there with everyone and see them come running through at the finish. Dave Junge, Margie and her dad all ran it too. Margie and I were able to train together and help motivate each other through the whole process. I am so sad that she is moving soon, I'll definitely miss my running partner. My long runs will be a lot quieter without Margie since Glenn just blasts his ipod the whole time and nods his head every once in a while to pretend like he is listening to everything I'm saying.
