As usual, I am NOT blogging in chronological order.  Here are the pics from the Corvallis Half Marathon a few weeks ago.  Big thanks to Carolyn and David for watching our three munchkins so that Mike and I could both do this race.  People keep asking me if Mike and I run together.  The answer to that question is no.  Mike leaves me in the dust.  However, he is nice enough to turn around after he crosses the finish line to pace me.  I also want to send out a big thanks to the Jensen family for getting us pumped up before, during and after the race.  What a great family.  The emails were flying back and forth before the race.  Eric likes to get bets going beforehand to motivate everyone.  Kellie and the kids were out with Carolyn and David to cheer us on.  I was looking forward to seeing all of them as I was nearing mile eight.  It was great to race through the streets of Corvallis and see friends and neighbors all along the way. Overall, it was a great race and a great day!
