13.1

Today was the 500 Festival Mini Marathon in Indianapolis.

K ran her first, and maybe her last, half marathon.  E is a half marathon pro.  She has run the Mini twice before (both times with G).  Additionally she has run at least one half marathon in Chicago with G and another solo one in West Lafayette on a muddy path along the Wabash River.

It was good for K to have E as a running partner.  She knows the course, so she could let K know what to expect and she was a good encourager, especially when K started to cramp.

While their time wasn't the fastest, they finished the race and they had fun.  : )


Ready to race, after the requisite port-a-potty pit stop.
  

"Now put your hands up."  Hanging out in corral Q.  It would take 22 minutes to make it to the start line.

 13.1 miles later -- all done and still smiling.  : )

 Check out the hardware!

I am so proud of my girls!
