Most of you know we signed up for our second half marathon. We also peer pressured a lot of our friends to run. Surprisingly, most of our friends came through and ran. We were so lucky to host the Perry's for the whole weekend. They always host us when we go up to Sacramento, so it was so nice to return the favor. They ended up being our first visitors at our new house! We loved that they were able to make it down for the race. Their trip went by way too fast, we all ended up being preoccupied by the race schedule. We were able to enjoy one night of sushi and dancing!Here we are bustin' a move...
Lindsey and Taylor crossing the finish line. GO REESE! j/k! (Linds-can't wait for SF!!)
Here are Linds and I with the OVERALL marathon runner!
He passed me and finished the marathon when I was on mile 11.
Here we are tasting our success!!!
Although we did not have time or energy to train, Ryan and I ran the race. We are still a little disappointed with ourselves. Ryan and I are super competitive, we have no urge to run a full marathon yet, but we do need to beat our previous race times. Here are our upcoming events: We are running our local Turkey Trot 10k (Linds-this made me laugh when I read your blog), I think I am going to run the Huntington Beach Half again on February 1st, and we are signing up for the San Francisco Half Marathon on July 26th. They just introduced the California Dreamin' racing series which includes the Long Beach, Huntington Beach, and San Fran half/full marathons. If you run all three in a two year span you receive a special jacket and medal. I really want to achieve this by next July...this running stuff is so addicting! I am sure a few of our friends caught the bug as well!

How do you look so cute when you just got done running a half marathon, you look great! I will take your word for it that running is addicting, sounds awful to me. But I am way impressed with people that find joy in it, way to go!
I'll have to see this damn jacket before I can commit to an extra trip to So Cal. I think we'll/I'll be going down there at least two times next year anyway... so a third may be out of the question :(
Way to go girl! You are amazing! I am SO NOT a runner! :)
