We finally did our half marathon on a cold snowy hailing spring day. It hailed and rained freezing rain on us the whole way, but we finished holding hands even though we couldn't bend our frozen fish stick fingers. I'm so lucky to have a husband that would suffer through it with me. When we finished he sounded ready and willing to do another! So this may be a thing of ours now, but in the future I hope it's on a day with less depressing weather conditions. The back of my shirt said "If you can read this, then you're right where I want you." Everyone that passed us got a kick out of it even though I was thinking, dangit obey the shirt. Afterwards we got free french toast breakfast, a free massage, and lots of other free stuff. Plus we felt pretty darn good about ourselves. We'll start training for the next one eventually, for now we are enjoying not having to obey a running schedule.
