We did it! My friends, Amelia and Joel, came into town from DC the last weekend of October. Amelia had also been running over the summer and had completed her first half marathon in September (way to go!). So thought it would be fun to do a 10 mile race when she was in town. It was a beautiful sunny fall day, and we both felt great the whole way. We kind of got separated for a mile or two, but amazingly we found each other among the thousands of runners. This is the farthest I've ever run, and I know it was made so much easier thanks to Amelia's company. We were able to chat the whole way and NOT think about the fact that we were running for over an hour and half straight. Our friends Rachelle and Andrew even came out to cheer us on at about mile 8- it really helped keep us going! People were wearing some funny costumes since it was the day before Halloween, so we were entertained along the way. Amelia and Joel are getting married this May, so we also took them out for bachelor/bachelorette evenings. The girls went to Chino Latino's for a smorgasbord of world cuisine and wrapped up with some classic bachelorette games at Rachelle's. Will and I are so excited to head out to the East coast for the wedding!
Until next time,
Kirsten
