Half Marathon

Yes, I have been a slacker blogger. I'll confess. I decided 2 things when I started blogging... 1) I would NOT blog when I'm in a bad mood (I tend to say too much of the wrong thing). This was the main reason for the lapse in posts over the past week. 2) I wouldn't blog when it felt like a huge burden. I don't want to dread blogging. The latter has been true this past week as well.

This past weekend we (me and Mark) were up on Whidbey Island at his parent's parent's place for our "parent meeting" (my parents drove out Friday night from Montana) and a half marathon. It was excellent!! The parents all seemed to get along perfectly! We couldn't really come up with any way how it could have been better, and that was nice.

Here are some pictures.






Mark and his dad (in back) walked the half marathon. I was SO proud of them! Mom, Trisha, me and Kate (a friend/co-worker of Trisha's) ran the half marathon.

Mom and I definitely ran our personal bests at the half, beating our previous time by over 10 minutes!! I ran it in about 2:23 and mom did 2:24. We were thrilled with those figures!!!

This picture is of Christina (my sister), mom, Mark, me and Dad at Deception Pass in Oak Harbor. Very beautiful!
