I did it!!!!

I now have offically completed 2 half marathons!!! Though I did not do nearly as well as I did back in 2001, I completed the race before they closed it and I was not taken away by an ambulance...both of which I am proud of :) It was so fun and there are no words to express the goose bumps you get when crossing the finish line!!!



Brad is taking this shot from the hotel that my in-laws were staying at. The hotel was so great because Kylee could take her morning nap there since we were all up at 5 am to get to the race on time.
Kylee was so curious about my medal.
I am super proud of Adrin. He has run 1 marathon and 2 half marathons. He is now 57 years old(sorry for telling your age :) and is still running strong. He beat me in this race and finished 265th in his division. Great job!!!!
Relxing in the hotel hot tub after the race. This was so heavenly!!!!

Way to go Katrina! I love the "from way up above" picture!! I think it's so cool that they were able to have their timeshare right there on the boardwalk - makes it much easier with a baby doesn't it? Good for you - a FINISHER!! :) And a good race at that!

You go girl - that's awesome. I thought this post was going to be about Kylee walking. How nice to have a hotel room to go right too instead of having to walk a mile to a car! Keep it up!
