Today, my sister and I ran our first (and likely for me, ONLY) half marathon. Hilary, who turns 40 in exactly one month, totally kicked my butt! And although I would never describe the experience as fun, I do have to say that it feels pretty good to have accomplished something so physically challenging after having three children... even if I was way slower than I hoped to be. I tell ya, those Seattle hills are far different than running on flat farm land, even if the Seattle-ites don't consider them hills!
Look who we randomly ran into in the sea of thousands of runners. Kate was one of my closest friends and housemates in college. It was such a fun surprise to see her there!
