Well all the training has finally culminated in the Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half Marathon on Saturday morning. Melissa left at 5:45 with our neighbors who were also running the race in order to get the registration packet and make the start time of 8am. Me and the kids slept in and left at 8:15 so we would be there in time to see Melissa finish. We struggled to find a parking spot but did managed to get there to see her finish. Notice her bib in the picture says 3676 so there was a large group of runners there. Many more than the "around 200" that her friend told her (probably so she wouldn't be nervous). Anyway she finished really well even though it was quite hot throughout the race. We walked around the Idaho Springs football field afterwards and I finished her free O'Douls with a little help from Bryce (see the picture in Flickr). For a cool map of the route check out what her Garmin produced with a little help from Google Maps: Route Map.

Hey, way to go, Melissa! I didn't know you were training to run a half! Good for you! Were you happy with your pace/time? I'll bet you did great!
I was just bested (by about 1 min/mi) by a woman who has given birth to two children. ::hangs head in shame:: ... ::then laces up shoes:: Seriously, you've given me a bit of new inspiration to run the Detroit half.
Craig :)
