Germantown 1/2 Marathon

This past Sunday I ran the Germantown 1/2 marathon. Pretty small, but fun. David was SO supportive and got up bright and early with Elizabeth and me to deliver us to the starting line. He even stuck around to cheer on all of our friends along the route.



Courtney, me, and Elizabeth - 7:00 am Sunday morning; happy to be running!



Elizabeth, Kim, John, me, and Debi following the race.
Four of my very favorite people in Memphis!


Me about to cross the finish line and not feeling so hot. I actually looked at David and told him not to take the picture but he didn't listen. I did cut my time from St. Jude by over 10 minutes but that last 1/2 mile was rough!
What to run now? Well, that is the problem. I can't find anything to fit my schedule, budget, and low heat tolerance. If you come across any fairly flat, within short driving or flying distance, average temp of 60 or below 1/2 marathons in the next couple of months, let me know. I will run! In other running news, David is back to the pavement and will run his first 5K in several months at the end of the month!
