Allan and I both just finished the Austin 1/2 Marathon this past Sunday, February 15th. This was our 2nd 1/2 Marathon in 3 months. I think we are addicted! :) We participated in the 1/2 marathon with some friends in Austin. This was their 1st 1/2 marathon and they all made it to the finish line!! Everyone did so well and were so happy they did it!
The course was very hilly, but very Austinie. I didn't run this one, because I am 12 weeks prego! I had been running after the Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon, and then found out right after the new year that I was pregnant and my body needed to slow down. So I walked the race with my girlfriends and sister....we actually probably jogged about 1.25 miles and walked the rest. Our time was good for a walker, 3hours 37minutes. Not to bad, huh?! Allan's time was 2hours20minutes....I was very proud of him, especially with all the difficult hills there were on the course! He is really hoping to run the full Rock and Roll Marathon in November. I would do it with him, but being that I will be giving birth in early September, not too sure if my body will be up to it! LOL I may run the half, who knows...not making any commitments yet!
We spent our Valentine's day in Austin. Our friends, Ashley and Chris, joined us since Ashley was running the 1/2 Marathon with some co-workers. We ended up having a Valentine's dinner with all our friends and my parents and Aidan and baby Addison at my parents casa. We had a yummy pasta dinner and ended the night with some Chocolate Fondue! It was delish! We had an early night because we all had to meet up at 5:15 a.m. the next morning for the big race. So we had a great time with our friends this weekend and it was a great accomplishment, we will always keep this memory with us forever! Here are some pictures of our Race, enjoy.

Andrea!!! Congratulations on both the marathons and the new baby! WOW!
Awesome news. I got pregnant with Quincy three days after one of my marathons. It was a big shock. Allen can totally do the full with that time.
