Half Marathon Time- Mar 2, 2013

Well, silly me, I signed up again to run a half marathon. Every time I run a race, I try to tell myself that I don't like races and not to do one again, but it doesn't seem to work. I wasn't really able to train appropriately for it, but at least I can say I finished it, without walking!!! I finished in 2 hrs 10 secs, which wasn't bad for what time I had time to give it.  I was never more happy to see that finish line!!!  Kids enjoyed getting some yummy treats before and after the race. Also got to meet the Chick-fil-A cow and jump in the bounce house. Fun times! The proceeds from the race went to a volunteer organization that I've been working at called, AZ Brain Food for Kids. Food is donated, put together and delivered to various schools and given to children who have no food to eat at home. Amazing to think there are families "just around the corner" who are struggling, when we are ok. Really opens your eyes. Kailyn has been able to go with me a few times to help package the food and she REALLY enjoys helping other kids not go hungry!
Of note, this bounce house would later collapse on Alton while he was in it. Very traumatizing for him!
