6.55 Miles

Yesterday I ran 1/2 of the IVS 1/2 Marathon as part of a relay team with my younger brother (http://www.ivs.org/Results/2007/ivshalf.txt) We didn't win, but we finished, which was a huge accomplishment for me. After all, I had never run more than 3.1 miles at one time before, and the 6.55 miles I ran yesterday seemed to be mostly uphill the whole time. I finished my half in a little under 1 hour and 5 minutes, which is a huge part of us finishing in 167th place. Like I said, we didn't win!

In my defense, Samantha had 12 girls spend the night Saturday night...have you ever tried to sleep when there are 13 twelve and thirteen year olds running around the house until 3am?? Never again, or if Keri lets them, I'm getting a hotel room.

Boo Bears, Boo Cubs, and Boo Notre Dame. A very disappointing sports weekend.

I am very proud of you and the 6.55 miles! That is amazing! Next year, try the boston marathon!

As for the girls, what did you expect? Oh yeah, you were never a girl and didn't have slumber parties! The goal is to NOT sleep and the first one who does will have things happen to her by the other girls! They are fun, you should have one at least oncea year! Do it in the summer and make them sleep in tents! That also works...but then boys will come over and visit.
