Chad and I decided a couple months ago to run a 1/2 marathon. For those of you that don't know (and I actually get asked this ALL the time...) a full marathon is 26.2 miles and a half is 13.1. Those distances are and will always be the same for ANY full or 1/2 marathon.
Okay, so now that we are clear. Chad had expressed interest in running a 1/2 marathon knowing that I had run a couple of full marathons in my past and a good friend of ours recently ran the LA marathon. I told him I would, although I mentally told myself my long distance running days were over long ago.
Anywho, we decided to run the Ventura Beach Front 1/2 Marathon and it was so great...running along PCH the whole time. Can't beat that view!
The night before we stayed at my Aunt Maryann and Uncle Rick's house who live just minutes from the race. Bennett had a blast and a half chasing the dog and all the kitties around that he slept like a rock all night. I even had to wake him up in the morning from snoozing away. I was so thankful because Chad and I sure needed our rest before the run.
I think we should sleep at the Zepf's more often!
The race was great and I felt so good the entire time. So much that I just had to take a photo of mile twelve to share the excitement of only having one mile left!
After finishing, I told myself I had no idea how I ever ran full marathons...never again I tell you.
Never again!
On Sunday, we did a lot of practice with Benny walking and also layed out by the pool for some much needed R&R. Bennett's walking is getting better and better each day. He can almost walk across most of the living room before falling into one of our arms.
...my baby is offically no longer a baby!
Silly Goose!
