This Sunday, February 14th, Jon ran the Austin 1/2 marathon with our friends Seth, Dave and Steven. They have been training together for the past few months, and I am sooo proud of them for doing this! Taryn, Christina and I woke up at the butt crack of dawn to go down there with them and I'm so glad we did. We got to hang with them before they started and then after the race started, we walked a few blocks and got to see them run by at mile 6.5. Then we walked to the finish line and got to see them finish. They have been training at a 9 minute mile pace and really wanted to complete the race in under 2 hours and they all did! The four of the them came in within 5 minutes of each other. Afterward, Jon and I stuck around to watch our friend Jake from San Antonio finish his first full marathon. Go Jake! It was so fun to be down there around all these hard working and happy runners. And the weather started to warm up and ended up being gorgeous. We had lunch at Shady Grove and enjoyed the sunshine. Congrats to Jon and the boys for running your first 1/2 marathon!! I'm so proud of you all.
