I ran the KC Half Marathon on Saturday, the 18th. It was a great race! I felt really good throughout. I ran with Rhonda and Holly. Unfortunately, our friend Becky had injured herself a month or two ago, so she was not able to run with us. Rhonda, Holly and I were keeping up with a 2:20 pace until about mile 8 when we hit a wall. I think I could have kept going, but it's no fun to run by myself. Aaron and Eli met us about mile 10, I needed the hugs! Eli was shy at first, but Aaron said tht after we left them Eli started running after me saying, "Mommy! Wait for me!"
When we got to mile 12 I broke away and had a pretty fast rhythm until the end, I was trying to beat my time from the half in 2006, but was unsuccessful. I do have to say the hills did not kill me, I felt great! The weather was awesome!
Overall, I was pleased! I mean, I just had a baby in March, and here I am in October running a half marathon! Who knew!

That is awesome. I literally can't imagine it. I have a hard time running for 30 seconds. Not kidding.
