Race Day, Sort Of

Well, this past weekend was the Derby Half Marathon. We ran it last year in about two and a half hours. We had every intent of running it this year as well, even though we had not adequately trained. JT had been sick for about two weeks and the night before the race, we flew home. As our plane descended, his ears began hurt to the point of not being able to hear. It was at that point that I had to force him not to run. It was hard for him because we went to the race the next morning. It was hard for me too and I am not even as "into" running as he is. We did go, however, to cheer on my mom, Bob, and my friend Jason from med school. My mom and Bob walked it with my Mom's friend Becky, and they did it in 4 hours. I am so proud of them. This was Jason's first half marathon and he did great....2 hours 21 minutes... It was a lot of fun!
