KC Marathon and kids marathon

Yes, i am still in October with my blogs plugging along and trying to catch up!! The end of Oct was the last half marathon for 2012 and one of my favorites! Got down there plenty early this time but due to waiting in line for a must have restroom visit once again almost missed the start of the race. I ran to the start and jumped into line with the 2:10 pace group as opposed to the 1:50 as i had planned. This kinda messed with my head a bit but i got over it. John and the kids and my in laws were all there to cheer me in at the end. I knew i was cutting it very close to beating my previous half marathon pr...

My watch said i had it but i am never positive till i see my "official" time, since the finish clock time is always different.

and once i got my print out i was super happy to see that i had a new pr by 14 seconds...my new half pr being 1:48:27

And then it was time for the kids to run! They run their first 25 miles before race day and then run the final mile and a little more on race day. Trey came flying in and took 3rd or 4th place i believe

Avery had a good run...

I just love this picture of Ethan! I am pretty darn sure he was giving his all!

I ran with Raegan and she did great. We didn't get a picture of us coming across but she was super happy to see the finish line!

So proud of my kids and they had a blast doing it!

It was an all around great day!
