Thankful Half

 A few months back, Camille asked for me to run a Thanksgiving Day half marathon with her.  Unfortunately, my pain levels have been so intense that running down the driveway brought tears, running 13.1 miles was out of the question.  However, I didn't want to miss out on the fun!  Thankfully Annette could join Camille in running the race, and they both put up with my loud cheers while they ran.  The race was at Thanksgiving point and on a gorgeous morning for late November.  The Johnson ladies ran wonderfully!  Camille even PRed!  The surprise of the day was Kelly driving down to meet his girls at the finish line. 


 Half a mile from the finish! 


Keeping strong!  I watched as Annette and Camille passed several runners in the final stretch.  It's so exciting just to be at a race, even if I can't be in the race.  



Kelly and his girls!  The refreshment table for the runners included the usual bananas, Gatorade, and water but also included some Turkey Day treats including Pumpkin Pie and frozen turkeys for the runners to take home!  So much fun.  Way to go, Annette and Camille!  Hopefully I can join in the fun next time.
