Christie and I ran the Helvetia half-marathon today, a hilly course in the farm country west of Portland. It was not my best race in terms of time or feeling -- it felt hard by the fourth mile, and pretty terrible by the finish. I was so glad to have a running partner to keep me motivated and moving; we even picked up the pace for the final half mile. Steve, Seb, and Liesl all came out to watch me finish the race, which was sweet -- they haven't been able to be at many of my races because of distance and other obligations.
Pre-race! Feeling a bit nervous.
Seb captured these photos of me entering the stadium for the final lap.
Yay for crossing the finish line! And then I was just done.
