Riley and I spent his birthday running a half marathon. It was actually kind of brutal. We thought that we would try a trail race, and it was way harder than a road race! This was also Riley's first half marathon. This picture was taken about ten minutes before we started.
 |
| I was not expecting the race to be quite as rugged as it was. This is just one of the several sets of stairs that we had to climb. |
 |
| This person is not me, but I wanted to show how big some of the logs were that we had to jump over. |
 |
| We also had very narrow trails to run through. |
 |
| Of course, we also had lots of steep hills with roots to climb! |
 |
| I finished in 3 hours and 34 minutes. (I ended up walking the last half of the race.) |
 |
| Riley finished in 2 hours and 47 minutes. Riley ran the whole race (except for an occasional hill at the end)! |
 |
| Happy Couple |
 |
| After the race we had dinner and birthday cake with Riley's parents and sister's family. Riley's dad decorated his cake for him. Good job Tim! |
 |
| This picture was taken right before Riley blew out his candles. |
