LeeAnn's 2nd Half Marathon

The family woke up at 4:00 am this Saturday and headed to Marion Lake.  The race started at 6:30 am.  So after I registered and headed toward the start line, Kyle and Bryce went off to find some breakfast. :)  There was only 63 runners, so I was super nervous that I would get lost!   Thank goodness they had bright green arrows to follow! :)  The beginning miles were on dirt/gravel roads into the city. Once I got into the city, I saw Kyle and Bryce at a corner.  It was great to see them and find out that there were people behind me! 






The race went surprisingly well.  I felt great.  The last miles were mainly up hills, so that was the toughest part of the race.  I finished in 1:58 minutes.  (31/63)Much faster than my first half in May!

Bryce and Kyle enjoyed some fun Marion spots, while I was running.





We skipped going to KC and the waterpark since we were all tired and cranky!  We made it home around 11 and all crashed.  I didn't wake until 4, while Kyle and B were up around 2. :)
Not a bad Saturday!!

  1. Great job LeeAnn!!! I'm kinda bummed your running the full, because we could've run that half together! Although if they keep the routes the same, we can run the first few miles together before the routes split. :) You look so speedy in those pictures! :)
