Last Saturday Graydon and I celebrated two milestones: his nine-month birthday and my first half-marathon! Yay!
I ran the Cowtown Half Marathon (starts and ends in downtown Ft. Worth) with my friend Stephanie Nguyen and I can honestly say I had a blast! Most people probably don't consider running 13.1 miles as fun, but on that day I did. There were just so many people to run with and I found it exhilarating.
I actually was really sad when the full marathoners split from us and ran off. I know, what's wrong with me, right? I am 5 weeks away from my first full marathon (yikes!), and I had the desire to just do it and get it over with.
Anyway, thanks to my family for supporting me and to Stephanie for being such a great running partner!
And a special thanks to my other training partner! He has put in a lot of miles on the road in his jogger. Thank you my darling!
This is the medal. It's a funky shape because it's the first in a five-year series. If you get the five medals then it makes one complete star. How awesome is that? So between X and I, we are determined to make the star!
Looking up to his Mama.
This one is just for me...so that in the future when I look back I remember my cute little baby like this.
