Priceless

Yesterday was one of my favorite days. Ever. I ran the 2010 Seattle Rock 'N Roll Half Marathon with my dad and did we ever ROCK it. Our goal was a ten minute mile with a finishing time of 2:10. Instead, we finished at 2:03 with a 9.25 min. mile. Yep, we are basically ROCK STARS!

Ken caught up with us around mile 3 and 7 as well as at the finish line. Here we are passing through Seward Park.

Just crossed the finish line.

My little sister, Kayce, made this sign for us. She stopped by the finish line to root us on before heading off to pick up her wedding dress with a couple of her bridesmaids.
Love the bling!
My dad raised money for the National Cancer Society for his spot in the race. We both ran in honor of my great aunt who has been diagnosed with cancer. The red ribbons bear her name.

My cousin, Kelly ROCKED the race, too. We are a lot alike. After a lifetime of being a non-athlete, she decided in her adult life to make a healthy lifestyle, including healthy eating and fitness, a priority. For me it didn't happen until I entered my 30's. Kelly made the change in her 20's. She has gone down four sizes since her lifestyle change. I am so proud of her!

Who gives us our strength? That's right, the Lord God Almighty.
We had some fantastic support along the race route and at the finish line. Here Kelly is with her siblings at the finish line. They made the signs for us.

My sister and Gram were there to cheer us on, too! Angie has been one of my biggest supporters in all my events. She is a ROCK STAR in my book ,too!What would I do without my wonderful hubby to support me?
Three proud athletes. One great time!
