Ryan and I ran our first half-marathon in Portland Saturday. I have been training for a while. Ryan, however, hadn't run for over 2 weeks and just decided to sign up the day before and just go for it. I am glad he did it with me and we stayed by each other for most ofthe race...until I smoked him at the end.:) (Really he was only 3 minutes behind me!) We both met our goals of under 2 hours. I finished in 1 hour 55 minutes (a 8 min. 48 sec pace) and Ryan finished in 1 hour 58 minutes (a 9 min. 2 sec pace). It was a beautiful and hilly course and overall we both felt great. We were both stoked to get cool shirts (see Ryan modeling his), cool medals, and best of all a yummy Jamba smoothies, and hamburgers from a local place. Thanks to Ryan's parents for watching our kids and bringing them to support us!

Wow! You are both awesome. I can't believe how fast you ran, too! Great job! On to your next challenge...
Congrats!!! Great times too. Half marathons are way more fun than full ones. I wish that Justin would join me for a run one of these days. And way to go for smokin' him at the end. :)
You are the woman! Great times (not that I would have expected any less)! That's really cool that Ryan did it with you. I bet it was way more fun with him and having someone to keep you company.
Congrats. I wanna be like you...
Good job. Not to take from your accomplishment Jo Jo, but we are so impressed by Ryan's run. I am glad that Spense was wise enough to pass on this one. You guys would have killed him. Please come back home soon too. We miss you!
Way to go... I am so impressed! (amd amazed, and envious, etc.) Good for you!
