On Sunday Tim and I ran the Detroit FreePress Half Marathon (13.1 miles). I'm actually going to take some time to brag about Tim and me! We rocked to put it lightly!! We both had goals in mind and absolutely destroyed our goal time! Tim wanted to be under 10 minute mile pace and I hoped to be under 9 minute mile pace. My time was 1:53:58 which was an 8:41 mile pace and Tim's time 2:04:39 which was a 9:31 mile pace. In my age bracket which was 30-34 I got 53rd out of 1156 people and Tim got 253 out of 858 people. I'd say we exceded our expectations and I must say, I am so so proud of my husband for running it and getting such a fantastic time. I got a little lightheaded at the end and ended up feeling pretty nauseous for quite some time, but I think I may have pushed myself a little too hard. Three people died and I happened to be right behind two of them (within a minute). I must say I just can't stop thinking and praying for the families and the three people that died. It sure puts things in perspective!Lastly, Tim and I couldn't be any sorer!

Emma's teacher ran in the race too. I think you may know her Gretchen (Markey sp?) Voegeli. We went to high school with her. Great accomplishment.
