Denver Half Marathon

Anyone who lives near me (or near a race I want to run), and is relatively fit (ie: can walk), undoubtedly knows that I love to run races, and talk friends and family into doing those races. Well, this year is no exception, I finally got my Dad on board in the Spring, and he in turn recruited some of his co-workers into training for and running the Denver Half Marathon. This year however, as most of you are already aware, I got knocked up – and thus would not be participating in the run. Lucky for STEVE! Because it was my Dad’s first race in 30 years, I recruited Steve to… you know, suffer through and be a support in case there were any heart attacks mid run.

Well, I’m happy to report that Steve and my Dad finished the Denver half marathon in great spirits. There were no injuries (Steve sort of hurt his leg due to a lack of training) but in general they ROCKED IT! My Mom and I got to run around taking pictures and video (I won’t show the video because they looked so much faster in real life)… and I realized how much I really do love running half marathons – it was hard to be on the sidelines the whole time. Mr. Ed is hooked again (we have the same sort of love for training and racing) – Steve made me promise to never ever ever sign him up for a half marathon again, and plans are in the works for the Disney Land Half Marathon 2011 (so come run with us next Labor Day weekend!).

Great job Guys - I am so proud you ran 13.1 Miles!
