WE DID IT!!

13.1 miles later, Jake and I finished our 3rd half marathon yesterday. It was such a beautiful day to be out running. We were extremely blessed to have such good weather. We ran it just under 2:10. I was hoping to run it a little closer to 2:00 over all, but I guess that will have to wait for another race, another time. 

The Haunted Half had a really fun environment though. Everyone was dressed up in awesome costumes and at the end they had you run through a haunted "cave". The race ended at a carnival with face painting, apple bobbing, donuts on a string and lots of fun haunted characters. It is by far my favorite race we have run. I am so thankful to Jake for constantly running with me, being my partner and coach. He encourages me to do things I wouldn't have ever done other wise. I am one lucky lady to call him mine!

Us at the start of the race. We were just about the last people to cross the starting line. Jake wore this super sweet green suit the entire way. He didn't even take off the mask and would take sips of water by pouring it through his masked face. 

Finally at the FINNISH!

One of the haunted friends we made along the way!

Jake's twin found us at the end of the race as we were recovering. Can you tell who is who?

Out of his suit and ready to take on the world! It might be a small accomplishment, but I am still proud of our finish and the training we did to get to where we are. I believe we will be running partners for life and the eternity here after!

Have a great week!

We love you!
