We did it!!!

This morning Patrick and I completed our first half marathon ~ 13.1 miles! We have been training and working toward this goal since the summer. It was truly one of the greatest feelings of accomplishment crossing that finish line and knowing we reached our goal (without walking at all)! Here are a few pictures from our day .... it was such a great experience, and I think we are ready to do another one!

You can just barely see the Capitol Building in the background lit up at 6AM (click on the pictures to enlarge)

6:00 AM getting ready for our run!

Looking back at my parents and Will - about Mile 5

Almost to the finish line!
