Ryan's 1/2 Marathon Adventure

Ryan did the St. Louis Half. He wanted to complete it under 2 hours and he did it in 1 hour 52 minutes so he is really happy about that. What he isn't happy about is the fact that he can hardly walk these past few days. It really does a beating on your body. When he was done I asked him if he wanted to do another one and he said that he thinks he will get back on his bike again. Biking is his true love. Running the 1/2 marathon was just a goal of his. He trained some, but probably not as much as he should have. He ran the 13 miles...the longest he had ever ran.

His sister Erica and her Husband Michael also completed it under their goals. And our good friend Chris and Ryan ran most of the race together until Chris pulled ahead. I am impressed with all of them. It was fun to have them all do it together. On race day, I took Cousin Michael (9months) and Andrew (Kyle went to a friends house). We hung out with Sarah Hubmeier and Evie. What a beautiful day!
