This weekend, Jodi ran her first 25k (15.5 miles). She has been much more into the triathlons and has not been too excited about the long distance running. Needless to say, months of training and Saturday's filled with long runs culminated with this past Saturday. As we drove downtown for the race through a steady downpour, we both wondered where the rest of the day would go. Lucky for us, the rain was finished before the race started.
Here is Jodi about 100m from the end of the race...it was a good sign that she still had a smile on her face..

All told, Josh ended the day with a new personal best and Jodi finished right in the range she was hoping to finish. I am thinking I might be on my own next year, though...

Congrats, you two! Want to meet us somewhere for a marathon someday?
Awesome job, Jodi! You too, Josh!
Jodi, I think we should plan a reunion around a half marathon someday. What do you think?
the training for 2 parents of 3 kids - one under one year old - took tremendous dedication and heart and soul - we are soooo proud of both of you - loved watching the kids during the race - hated missing giving a big woot - woot - as you both crossed the finish line
Way to go! SO if this was Jodi's first 25K, that would be a PR for her as well. :) Loved the smile at the end of the race. Congrats to the 2 of you!
So proud of you, friend! You're an inspiration to all of us Moms!!!
