Fort Lewis 1/2 Marathon

We are done!
Katie and her medal
At the starting line
Love the Army logo
It's so early the sun isn't up yet!

This was a great race! Coleen and I had originally started training for it about 6 weeks ago with our friend Becky - two weeks before the race she got injured and wasn't able to put in the miles! We were so bummed that she couldn't run with us! We decided to go ahead with it as our kids were registered for the 1K already. It was a great course! Fort Lewis is HUGE and I think we ran on only part of it! We were mainly out in the areas where they do all of their exercises so there wasn't much there - but it was so pretty. The weather was perfect, too. Some other friends we ran into there were Jeff Allen (Amy signed up, too, but got injured!), Keno Granger, Tiffany and Jeremiah Shakespeare (this was Jeremiah's first official race!) and her friend Anna. The kid's 1K was perfect for them. There were only about 15 kids that ran it so the older kids were almost guaranteed a medal! Katie came in 3rd overall and loved that! We all enjoyed it and hope to next year get the whole family to participate.

I can't read the words you wrote on this background. You should either change the background or change your word color. Looks like fun running though. Congrats.
