13.1

Well, Paul and I ran the Bearathon this past weekend and we both finished!!! It's the half marathon put on by Baylor's Student Foundation. It runs out to/through Cameron Park and back. Cameron Park is intense - really hilly. It was a great run.

His time: 1:53:40
Her time: 2:27:40

Weather forecast for the beginning of the run:
cloudy and windy, 40 degrees (felt like 30!!); winds from WNW at 21 mph

IT WAS COLD!! By the time we were done, the temps had only gone up by 6 or 7 degrees and the winds had picked up by 7 more mph. It was crazy weather for Waco. The very next day it was back in the 70s - we're so spoiled.

Sorry for the crazy hair in the picture. I obviously was not too concerned about how I looked.

Thanks to everyone for their good wishes. I guess we're runners now.

Nonni and Pop-Pop are so proud of both of you. Dad still can't believe his daughter is a marathon runner. Uncle Ed is also very proud to say that his niece is a marathon runner. We love you and miss you!
