And another one bites the dust....

I mean another race, not ME biting the dust! Sunday morning Danielle, Brittany, Angie and I competed and finished in the 30th Anniversary Nationwide Columbus 1/2 Marathon! It was a brisk 34 degrees when we arrived at the starting line but we were dressed in pants, long sleeves, gloves and hats! Our results are as follows:

Danielle 2 Hours 51 Minutes 57 Seconds
Brittany 2 Hours 8 Minutes 38 Seconds
Sonya 2 Hours 3 Minutes 10 Seconds
Angie 1 hour 52 Minutes 56 Seconds

I'm so proud of everyone for the awesome times and the determination to train and complete the event! I was going for under two hours but I'm happy with my time, it's my best race pace yet (9:25 per mile). When I ran my marathon in 2007 my place was 9:54 per mile so I've improved it a bit. I have a little bit of a cold which slowed me down a bit. We were lucky to have lots of wonderful supporters to cheer us on (Mom, Dad, Ryan, Dad K, Tim, Jordan). Thanks to them as well!

Now, what am I going to do with all of my free time?!?!?!

Great race Sonya. We are very proud of all of our daughters accomplishment! Sounds like its time for a little R&R!

Congrats! You girls impress me. One day I might be inspired enough to run a race myself. Let's hope, anyway!
