Allan raced in his first 1/2 marathon today. That's right - he ran 13.1 miles! He has been diligently training for the past nine weeks. Last night, he even mapped out the route and decided at which points in the race he would take his GU energy gels :) He set a goal of running it in under 2 hours and demolished it by finishing in 1 hour 45 minutes! I'm so proud of him!
Unfortunately, the girls and I did not go to cheer him on. I was very worried about the logistics of getting there, parking, taking the shuttle, and entertaining/corraling the girls all by myself. When I woke up and saw that it was 40 degrees, it solidified my decision to stay home. Allan was very understanding. I hope that he runs in the St. Louis 1/2 Marathon in April so that I can be there!

1:45 rocks. I'm very impressed. Maybe I'll join him and you can cheer both of us on in April. Or better yet, you can run too.
