marathon . . .

Josh & I headed to San Antonio on Saturday to run in the Rock 'n' Roll Half-Marathon & Marathon.  I did the half (13.1 miles), and Josh did the marathon (26.2 miles)!  It was in the 80s, so yes, it was hot & hot & more hot, but we made it over the finish line.  We take that as a victory.  I am soooo proud of Josh, this is his third marathon.  I know I will never be able to accomplish even one--training for a marathon requires lots of time and a whole lot of commitment.  We are PROUD of you!  :)

 

As for me, my lack of commitment, just for a half . . . is definitely being felt today.  :(  But, it does renew my efforts for our next attempt in January at the Houston Chevron Half-Marathon & Marathon, and then I think Josh & I will both take a break.  :)

 

The best posters along the way----"Where are ya'll going?"  "Run faster I just *#$@!"  "Start slow and tapper off!" & "You trained longer than Kim Kardashians wedding!"  he-he

I did find a t-shirt that sums up my experiences with running, it said, "I love to run!  Except when I'm doing it."  he-he

We had a great time in San Antonio.  The kids stayed with our friends, the Osbornes, so we knew they were in good hands & having lots of fun.

 We stayed in the Menger hotel in downtown San Antonio, yes, the haunted one.  :) 

And, of course, we crossed over Col. Travis' line in the sand.  :)

We had a great weekend, feeling very accomplished, and being able to spend 'quality' time with each other.  :)
