Boy it feels good to be done with races for the year. Goal met. Check!
Last weekend I did part of the Kansas City Half Marathon. I had my headphones on for the whole run but could still hear people say, "she's pregnant" as I passed them. Not sure if they were judging as I know some people aren't quite sure to make of my running during pregnancy. Whatever the case, the run felt GREAT. It was a beautiful morning and Johnna left me nothing but flatness (elevation that is). She loves hills so she got them!
So here I am with my husband, Aaron. He completed his first half marathon. I am so proud of him and I think it's proof that men do follow in women's footsteps. It just took him 4 years to do it! He finished in the time he wanted but told me afterwards that he might stick with 10K's. Hey, I get that. Marathons and Half Marathons take a lot of time and energy to train for.

Here I am with Johnna, my race partner. We split the half marathon distance so I was "Johnna" for 6.5 miles. We met on the plaza and ran about a mile together before we made the switch. Gosh we are such rebels! I really doing races in a team. It makes the experience much more fun. So, I'd secretly highly encourage rouge race running in a team. But you didn't hear that from me!
