Half Marathon!

My crazy awesome husband recently ran his first Half Marathon! He has put together a group on www.mapmyrun.com with several of his friends where they compete and encourage each other to improve on their mileage, speed and frequency. Its really very cool to hear them bantor back and forth about their runs. Rod trained for the race and unfortunately about a week before the run his ankle started to cause him some serious pain. He layed off it for a few days but no amount of pursuading was going to keep him from that race. He ran it! Since he wasn't about to miss it-neither were we, I bundled the kids up and it was COLD, but we were there to cheer him on-and then to cheer him in! Good work Rod! We are so proud of you!

Here Rod is with Grayson on the morning of the race-pulling out his number!Mana, Tom, and Rod before the race started Finishing the race at 2:09:27 "resting" afterwards. Caily was totally freaked out by this. I mean...he does kinda look like he could be dead.
p.s. Rod ended up having to wear a leg cast on his ankle for 2 weeks after running on it. OUCH!
