Some of you may remember my moment of insanity a few months back when I signed Mike and I up for the Des Moines 1/2 Marathon. This morning was the big race and we finished!! To be honest our training hasn't been all that dedicated the past month or two!! In fact neither of us have ran for the last 2.5 weeks, but who cares now?!?!? :) My goal when I signed up in July was to finish under 2 hours 30 minutes. I finished in 2:19:55.....and of course Mike had to beat me in a time of 2:19:54----by ONE second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We decided to run together and it was definitely more fun to have someone to run with. Here are a couple of photos before the race this morning. I don't have any after photos....but I will tell you my hair looked like I belonged in an 80's hair band! No joke!! :)
