Our Very First...Half Marathon!

Jeremy and I began 2010 with a bang....we started training for our very 1st half marathon! It began when our coach and inspiration, Christa Zoch, posed a fitness challenge to our MOPS group in the fall of 2009! Along with our dear friend Bethany, we worked extremely hard and accomplished something we never dreamed possible.....we successfully finished the Borgess Run for the Health of It half marathon! That's 13.1 miles...an accomplishment we will never forget!
Christa and myself at mile 10! Mark, Ethan, Avery and Bethany's father-in-law, Norm, were there taking pictures and cheering us on along the way!

Jeremy at mile 10...go Daddy go!

Daddy at the finish line....with his biggest and most supportive fan, Will!

Christa and I crossing the finish line.....what a wonderful feeling! Thank you to Christa for supporting me along the way and helping me achieve a significant goal in my life!


Our MOPS fitness challenge group....Marianne, Bethany, Christa, and me! We did it!


A very special thank you to Bethany....she was a wonderful partner and accountability coach! We also want to thank Mimi and MawMaw for being there, cheering us on, and being there for Will and Rhett while we met a significant goal! Thank you for your support and for your love!
Since the half marathon, Bethany, Christa and I ran a 7K in Climax and Jeremy and I continue to run weekly to maintain our progress! Thank you again to everyone for your support and encouragement!

Wow what a great accomplishment. I say that as I am sitting on the couch :) Your boys are getting so big and so cute! Tell everyone we said "hi" from Spring.
