Grand Island Half Marathon

This past weekend my good friend Katie and I ran the Grand Island 1/2 Marathon...it wasn't one of our fastest races but we finished and had a fun time doing it (well a fun time until the sickness hit at the end of the race...something about the heat/humidity/wind combination that didn't settle well with our bodies after 13 miles!). Anyway, it was a great farewell race to run with her. Katie is moving in just a few weeks and to say I'm sad would be an understatement. She has been the most perfect running partner (right up there with my sis Sienna) and I really don't want her to leave me. For any of you that run, you know that finding a running partner that is right on your pace is extremely difficult. We've been getting up at 6am the past few months to train together and I'm going to miss our morning running talk. She is such an amazing person and I have learned so much from her!
And here's my little fan club...the best one of all of us together...so don't mind Elsie's coughing face:)

Congrats! It's my goal to someday run a 1/2 marathon. I didn't know you two were running partners. I'd love to hear more about the race. Hope you have a great time in NYC!

Crescent, you're making me blush with all the compliments! Thanks for dragging me to the end. And I can't talk about the moving part, I'm still in denial!
