Running in Hershey

On October 20th, we loaded up the van and headed north to Hershey, PA for the Hershey Half-Marathon.  After a fun afternoon at Chocolate World and checking-in at the race expo and hotel, we headed to the Hershey Stadium for the Kids Fun Run. Our two little racers were very excited to participate in their first race.

Andrew ran a 30 yard dash and he was one of the first couple of kids to "break the line."  He was so excited and then eagerly cheered on Nathan for his race.

Nathan ran a 50 yard dash with the other 6 - 7 year olds. 

We are very proud of our little racers!

The next morning, Dan and I headed back to the Stadium to kick off our race.  Thanks to my parents for watching the boys so we could both run.  Dan may have started with me in the 10 minute mile corral, but he sure ran a quicker pace.  Dan finished his first Half-Marathon (13.1 miles) in 1 hour 55 minutes.  GREAT JOB!

I was excited to complete my 2nd Half-Marathon in 2 hours 18 minutes.  It was a beautiful morning for a run!
