13.1

Last Saturday we ran another 1/2 marathon. This is the fourth one for me. (I know, I've been horrible at keeping the blog up-to-date.) It was here in town. I must say though, Lacey now kicks my butt. I can no longer keep up with her. Let me remind you, she is 18 years younger than me. (I'm just trying to justify why I can't keep up with her. :) ) It had been raining all week long. We were lucky it didn't rain on us that day. It was cloudy and very humid, but the rain held off. Lacey did awesome. She ran it in 1 hour 44 minutes. My goal was to do it in 1 hour 55 minutes and I beat it. 1 hour 53 minutes. Woo hoo. My first run was 2 hours 1 minute. Second run was 1 hour 59 minutes, and my third was 1 hour 58 minutes. So hey, I keep improving. Also, I ran with an injury. I have tendanitis. A chiropractor taped my ankle for me and I couldn't believe how it helped. Well, that and 3 advil. But seriously, what a difference it made. Anyway, it was fun and we are looking forward to running some more. Thanks Lacey, for sticking with my slow butt.
