Race Day!

Race Day!

Today was the day! While Joey and Yerin were comfortably tucked away in (my) bed, Socks and I saw these kids off for their first Half Marathon!

The Half-Marathoners!

It was another gorgeous day for a race. A little muddy, but you know... we're into that kind of stuff.

Justin's start!

And Wave 3's start!

Joey and I had decided the day before that we would be doing the 5K with Yerin instead because of our injuries (IT band for him, accessory navicular for me). But, as always, there was some confusion. Since Socks and I didn't see them by 8:30, we started heading back, assuming they had chosen sleep over attending the race.

Wrong. They had taken another way to the race site and we had completely missed each other. Socks ended up dropping me off at the race and Joey and I ended up starting about 8 minutes after the start. Whoops. :|

Joey running in his stunner shades.

I slipped on a tricky strip of mud (not my fault that I was taking a hard left) and got the wind knocked out of me, but I expect to have a pretty awesome bruise tomorrow, so it's all good.

We finished our races and everyone did a great job! We were exhausted though, exhausted, muddy, and in need of naps, showers, and foods at the same time.
