RACE DAY

Randy and I have been getting ready for this race for months!
I ran the 1/2 marathon and Randy ran the 10k!!!
He ROCKS
It was called the MAD marathon (make a differnce)
It was sponsored by the Osmond Hearing Fund, which provides children with hearing aids that wouldn't be able to afford them otherwise!
They had 3 families there that recieved the help, very cool!

OK, on to the race...
 I started at 7am
I always get so nervous, i hate it
There is really nothing logical about getting scared to run, grrr
Apparently this is my nervous face...
So ugly
Randy thought it was funny
 I was really excited when I realized my pace was fast (for me) enough that I would be back before Randy started his race at 9 (9minute mile:-)
Then...
there were no volunteers at our last corner, so we all ran straight instead of turning(full marathon route)
We, half marathoners, ended up running 15 miles in stead of 13.1
I didn't make it back to see Randy leave, but...
I never thought I would run 15 miles and I did!
 My offical time says 2:12
but that is for the 15 miles
My time at 13 miles was 1:56
That's what I am going with:-)

I did see Randy finish...
after I got a massage, ahhhh
He did great, was actually smiling when he ran in!!!
 This was his first 10k ever and his first race this year
So proud of him
