K' can I get my supportive husband medal now? Woke up at 4:30am, got the kids out of bed, dressed and in the car with drinks and snack, drove Britt and her friend to the finish line to catch the first bus up, went to Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast for the kids, yeah I'm a good dad. Drove home, made "Go Mom Go" signs with the kids to hold up. Watched it's a great pumpkin Charlie Brown, got every one back in the car, drove up to Bridal Veil falls in time to watch to leaders, only had to wait about 25 more minutes before Britt came by, right on schedule behind the 1:45 pacer. Ran back to the car and drove to the finish line to get more pictures and hold up our signs. Britt ended up finishing with 1:48:?? not to bad for her first 1/2 marathon and longest run ever. I think my first race was probably only 1:46 or something, I better watch out. I wore my Steve Prefontaine costume at the finish line, side burns and all. I don't think anyone knows who "Pre" is.
