Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half Marathon











I did it!! I completed my first half marathon without dying. I ran the whole way even though my knee started freaking out at mile two (the first 5 miles of the race were on rocky dirt road, that threw my knee all out of whack) My running buddies Stephanie and Roberta and I got a hotel room up in Georgetown the night before and had a nice dinner and relaxed in the hot tub (a great way to spend the night before a race). The smaller pictures above were taken by the official race photographer, Brightroom Photography.


These are the pictures Zach took of Steph and I sprinting to the finish line. Knowing that Zach and the kids were going to be at the finish line is what kept me going most of the time.
