For my 30th birthday I decided I wanted to run a half marathon. Some people told me I was crazy, but I thought it would be a great way to spend the big day. Brooks and I left the boys behind for the weekend and had a great weekend in the Seattle area. I didn't have a goal for the race other than to finish it, but my chip time ended up being 1 hour, 59 minutes and 59.9 seconds. I was thrilled to be under 2 hours! It was an exhausting experience, but one I will definitely do again. After the race Saturday morning, Brooks and I headed to downtown Seattle to explore. Brooks had to wait up for me a few times as I hobbled up and down stairs and walked slower than usual.
This was the very beginning of the race. I still look fairly happy here.
This was between mile 5 and 6. I started to get pretty tired around mile 9 and then had a burst of energy around 10. When I stopped to get Gatorade at the last stop my legs were really feeling it. I am so glad I did the race!

Brooks got me these flowers for my birthday, but then we forgot them in our hotel room.
