Warning... This post was done by Scott, Amme's Husband.
I'm sure that none of you are still checking this blog, but I decided that I spend too long staring into space on Sunday instead of doing something like I should be doing so I might as well put some pictures on the blog.
As the title says, Amme and I ran a half marathon on Saturday. Yes we did this because we wanted to and no we will not do another one until we forget that it hurts to walk up or down stairs, or do anything else with our legs for that matter. I'm sure that will take at least a couple of weeks.
Our sore muscles are mostly due the fact that the race I registered us for is north of Houston in an area of gently rolling hills. They be laughed at by those in Utah, but the rise and fall of a couple hundred feet every few miles was quite different than what we are used too. In fact in order to try and prepare ourselves for running hills we had to run up and down an overpass near our home because there are no "hills" in Houston.
Many thanks to Laurie (Amme's sister) and Blake for coming to cheers us on and take these pictures.
Here is Amme coming down one of the smaller hills along the course.
Here is Carly playing on some kind of parking lot gate. Spencer told me that climbing this was the highlight of his day.
Of course no morning would be complete without a daily dose of Captain Crunch, Spencer's favorite cereal.
Amme's friend Rachel, crosses the finish line.
I really didn't post this to tout my accomplishments but Amme will be mad at me if I don't mention that I finished 12th overall and 2nd in my age bracket with a time of 1:35:03.
This post would not be complete without an invitation to y'all to come and run a race with us. Below are a couple of videos that are sure to convince you join us or confirm that we are completely mad because we think that this is fun.
