We Did It!

On Sunday we completed our first half-marathon (21 kilometers/13miles). We had been training for months for this race with a group of our friends. 

Sunday was a beautiful day and the race was so much fun as we ran across the Harbour Bridge and into the city center. We started the day at 4:00 am with a good breakfast and then met our running pals at 5:00 to catch a bus to the starting line for a 6:30 start.  After the race we had a BBQ with our running mates to celebrate. 



Both Joe and I are pleased with our times, Joe at 1:54:15 and me at 1:57:15. 

Many people said that we would never want to run again after the race but we both feel great. It was a great experience for us and such a great way to grow closer with some friends through running together every weekend. Thanks to Nate for doing such a great job organizing and coaching all of us in the last couple of months. 



The official pictures will be posted soon.

Joe, Are you flexing in this picture so that I will comment on your muscles as well? Sorry but Amy has you beat!
