The wettest day ever...

was Saturday.

Angela, Andrew, Abbie, Nick and I all ran the Macklind Avenue Mile. It was only a mile but it was hard! Everyone was running so hard and I felt like I had to keep up! We got drenched. We were so wet that I felt like I was running with an extra 10 lbs. We still did pretty good.

The race was "chipped" so we had a chip on our shoe that recorded our exact times. Here is how we finished:

Nick finished in 7 minutes and 8 seconds, which was 226th place and 39th place in his age group.

Andrew finished in 7 minutes and 22 seconds, which was 238th and 20th in his age group.

Angela finished in 6 minutes and 50 seconds, which was 62nd and 9th in her age group.

Abbie finished in 7 minutes and 18 seconds, which was 87th and 27th in her age group.

I finished in 7 minutes and 53 seconds, which was 123rd and 33rd in my age group.

I was the slowest, but I'm ok with that. I normally run a mile in 10 minutes so I was happy with those results.

I have a few pictures of me, Abbie and Nick before and after the race. It's crazy how wet we got. I actually got out my shoes for my run today and they were still very wet.

Today we have officially finished week 2 of our training. The half marathon is in 10 weeks. Scary!!
