Today Nate ran his 5th half marathon and Bridget ran her 2nd Kids K. We've enjoyed some beautiful spring weather this month, but they didn't get so lucky today. The temperature was around 50 which was fine, but it poured rain all morning. When Nate left our house at 4:30 am, I could hear how hard it was pouring and truly thought he was crazy for wanting to run 13.1 miles in that weather. Thankfully, he was fine with me not dragging the kids out of bed to stand in the cold and rain to watch him finish, so the only pictures we have from his race are the ones he took with his phone before it got too wet and shut down.
With the poor weather and his less vigilant training the past couple of months, he wasn't expecting to do very well. He finished in 2:02:27 which he was satisfied with.

We were extremely fortunate in that the rain let up for about an hour just in time for Bridget to run her race. She was pretty excited about it and would have done it even in the rain. Felicity and I were just happy we didn't have to get cold and wet watching it.

| All of the kids received cow bells as their "medal" for finishing. |
