For some reason, I thought training to run 13.1 miles would be a good way to jump start me into shape after having Jay 4 months ago! It was my first time running 13 miles alone without walking at all. (I did a half ironman where I ran/walked the 13 mi. run leg.) I also started training a couple of weeks late, so I was happy with a time of 2:30!The run was gorgeous...right along the Spokane River the whole way to end in River Front Park. It was so fun!
I couldn't have done it without:
A GREAT running partner to motivate me for those long, Saturday runs and run the race with.
My sister Mikin
An awesome circle of motivation:(My sis in law Lizzy got Mikin to do it who got me to do it ;) We also had a few other family members and friends who did it.)
And the very best support crew out there!Jon, Cade and Jay.
Especially you, babe. Thanks for your endless support when I do these things!
Mikin and I ran with this 70-something man from Laos for a while. It was his first half marathon, too. It always inspires me when I see these older people still so active! I was chatting with him, and asked him to take a picture of our family, and he thought I wanted a picture of HIM WITH my family. Cute. :) 
All of the above, thanks for helping me FINISH!

You are my hero! Good job! I feel like such a slacker now, but I am working really hard to get in shape after having the two babies. 12lbs lost already, only 68 to go!

WOA! Awesome B! Really good job. I'm proud of you. I wish really bad I was there to run w/ you! And play w/ your boys and hang out and everything else...but back to the point: You're super awesome.
You blow me away. You look awesome I cant believe it only been 4 months since you had Jay. I hope I can lose my baby weight as good as you have.
Wow! I can't believe you already have this blogged! Good for you. You guys did great! I'm proud of you guys. I bet it really was beautiful. I still think some day we need to do a family run like Ragnar. I think you all should think about it. :)
Hey, great job! Unfortunately most people don't realize just how hard that is, especially so soon after having a baby, but I get it and I am SO proud! I really am! Congratulations on such an amazing accomplishment.
That is so neat. A half marathon is my goal for next sept.! But I'm not a runner, so it will be really hard for me to get into it! I'll have to get your tips for motivation :)
Great Job! Looks like it was tons of fun!
