We've trained all summer & finally the big day came! We thought my brother Tim wasn't going to be able to run with us because he blew his knee out 2mos ago, but he's as stubborn as we are & decided to run but "slow" it down to our pace! (whatever that means! :)
Thanks Steve for capturing my disgusted face as Tim tells us of his chapped "nips." Now we know why all of those guys have been wearing round band aids over theirs!
This pic just makes me laugh cuz after all that talk, Tim just came in in front of a few old grannies!
Thanks Jas & my little buddy Park for meeting me at the finish line! You've been so supportive of me getting healthy & I really appreciate it!
It was so fun to run with two of my siblings, knowing that we're all getting healthy together is so awesome! Kicking both their butts was pretty awesome too!
Katie's time: 1:57:16
527 out of 1038
52 out of 128 25-29yr old females
8:57 pace
I know those numbers don't look that awesome, especially if you caught any of the olympics, but that's more than a 1/2 hr. shorter than we practiced in training. So overall I'm pretty stoked by it, especially considering I was 12 weeks pregnant too!
Well that's my last long run of the year since I'm rapidly getting bigger in the "gutt" area. Stay tuned a year from now, we're planning on making this a family tradition! P.S. Hate to say I told ya so but that's the last time you guys will try a new grain cereal on the day of the race right Tim & Meg! :)

I did the SL half in 2007 in about 2:32, so I would be stoked with that time too. I am hoping to come home in April 09 and do it again in less than two hours. You look so BUFF!
