On October 19th (yes, Jonathan's birthday), I ran my first half marathon! My running partner and I started a training plan in June and it paid off! We ran the entire 13 miles of the race! It was a great experience and definitely won't be my last.

| Here we are feeling pretty good (I think we were on mile 2). |
 |
| I believe we were at mile 6 here....still feeling pretty good. |
 |
| At around mile 9 or 10 (and as we were jogging through another town), a marching band (and my family) were there to cheer us on! |
 |
| Two of our local missionaries also ran in the race. |
 |
| I don't know - I guess this is what happens when daddy watches the kids. |
 |
| Yay!!!!!! Uhhh, my legs don't feel right..... |
 |
| Here we are with Jessica's super super speedy husband. |

Here are my results:
 |
| There were 727 finishers. |
And more from Olivia...just ignore how I say "Oliiiiiiivia!" and notice how she swings those arms in front of her:
