It's over. We did it. So what if it took us 2:21 to finish. We ran the whole way and did not toss our cookies. Sid and I have been training for the Helvetia Half Marathon for the last couple months and it all came together yesterday on a beautiful Saturday morning on the country roads outside Portland with 5000 strangers. We had never done anything longer than a 5K before so this was a bit of a leap for us. It's safe to say that our long distance running career is over. The side affects of a race of that length on our bodies is not worth the time it requires to train for it. Maybe later in life when we have nothing better to do on Saturdays.

Addison was the assistant photographer for the day. Thanks to Aunt Meg for bringing the girls and Lukey to the finish line. It was really nice to have some familiar faces to greet us.
Lucas went a little overboard with the Jamba Juice. He's not used to the hardcore commercial smoothies.

Good job you two! That's awesome. We are doing the Lacamas Lake half marathon the end of July. It feels amazing! I can't wait.
