Earth Day Half Marathon

I finally got to finish a race with my sister.  In fact, I ran with my sister, Cori and sister-in-law, Kelly.  It was wonderful to run a race with my sister since she had her whole health scare.  Cori was suppose to run the Minneapolis marathon last spring, but she was advised not to run.  This was the first race she has been able to do since getting the okay from her doctors.  So it was very meaningful to run it together! 

I was a little nervous when I woke up to snow falling Saturday that it was going to be a tough run.  But really, it was almost perfect running weather....  Not too cold, not too hot!  And the snow was gone quickly & we stayed dry.  And since I am in "training" again, it was wonderful to get a training run in while also accomplishing another race.

Here are some pictures of the run:

Thanks Chrys! It was so nice to run with you as well! And I am so happy to be back into running again after my neck injury. We will definitely have to run more!
