Nike Women's Half Marathon

April 27th- Well I took to the streets of D.C. this morning with 15,000 women with the same goal.....cross the finish line!  I completed the goal and it was pretty enjoyable.  It was an amazing morning in D.C.!  I couldn't have ordered better weather! It would have helped if I would have taken training a bit more seriously but I crossed the finish line!  I also got a cute necklace from Tiffany's!!!   I was SUPER thankful that my family was there to cheer me on!  My Mom and Dad, Bill and the kiddos found me at mile 7 and again to cross the finish line!  It is always so much fun to have fans!  So I wasn't fast (i never am!) but the run was good!

They had an expo...and had all the runners names on a wall.....woohoo!
 Landon and I at the expo!
 Grandma and Landon in Georgetown!  It was beautiful! 
 Race Day!  It was an amazing morning to run!  Bill knows me well and was able to snap a few pictures while I was running!  That is the time to see the monuments!  

 D.C. is a beautiful historic city...IF you can get past the traffic and stupid people! 
 My heart belongs in MN! 
 FINISHED! It was and always is a great feeling to cross the finish line.  I had flashbacks of Greece in my head and running into the first Olympic Stadium....that was amazing! 
 One of my most important reasons for running!!!  Wow do I love those two!!
 This is the first time my Dad has ever been on a race course!  My Mom saw me complete my marathon and also a half in Omaha!  Thanks to Bill for truckin all over the city to see me for a second!  I adore you and I am very happy you are such a fan!!

The numbers....not exactly what I wanted but when you don't train...that is what you get!
