Half Marathon Monday

Oops, I did it again?!

That's right. I ran another half marathon. This one was the AthHalf in Athens, Georgia - and Sadie made me do it!

Post race in front of an ambulance we did not need!

So maybe she didn't make me do it, but she might have been the one to suggest another half marathon. This one took us around and up and down town on a really beautiful run. Good thing it was so scenic because the up and down bit was quite a departure from the oh-so-flat city of Houston.



Just before this run I was convincing myself that maybe 10k was more my distance, but there's something addicting about goals that are just out of comfortable reach.

Trying to stay warm before the start

I'm still not so fast (although Sadie is a speed demon these days) but just doing it comes with a serious sense of accomplishment. I still maintain that if I can run a half marathon, anybody can. I saw participants of this race who were easily twice my size or three times my age. There were runners, walkers and people in wheelchairs. Looking around and taking in all of the different types of people who subject themselves to half marathons is quite inspiring.

And now we all share our prizes of a pretty comfy t-shirt, a small medal and bragging rights. AthHalf unfortunately doesn't win any sort of swag award.


Be on the lookout for us again early next year because we're going back to Austin in February. The crazy train is going full steam ahead!
