  • Comments: Fun and very organized race. It started raining when I got to Mile 13. I was so glad it didn't rain on us earlier. We went to Celeste's house for another BT get together and met more BTer's. It was fun, but we were tired. We left early and took turns driving and sleeping all the way home. {Oh yeah other Bter's were missed this weekend. Uhhh...Laurie, Derek, Haley, Aaron, Bill, Brant, and Mrs. Brandt. Wish you could have joined us!}

  • Comments: I missed the cut off time to sign up for this so I ran with my wife at her pace. I am sure that I could have gone faster but I had a really good run. My shoes kinda sucked though. I am going back to my Mizunos, don't mess with a good thing.

  • Comments: This was my first half marathon and what a great way to start! I never thought I would say this, but I can't wait to do another one! I might enjoy running yet! The weather held off and it was just amazing and such a God send. The spectators and volunteers were great and so wonderful in encouraging us and cheering us on. I think there were fewer spectators this year (Jen said it was mentioned on the live broadcast of the marathon) because of the weather, but those who showed up were great. There were spectators who had music playing outside of their houses, this one guy was banging a large pot as he cheered us on. Lots of signs. There was one guy around mile 8 that was standing on the sidewalk and singing the Rocky theme...the entire time!!!!! He kept going and when I did the turnaround, he was still going! Way to go, dude! Thanks!! Funniest moment....as we were coming down a hill at around mile 3 or so, there was a huge grassy clearing to the right of us and a large bamboo circular
