| Beto finished about 40 min before me. He's a natural runner! |
We did finish our half-marathon on Jan.20. We ran with Team in Training to raise money for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. Together Beto and I raised just under $10,000, so thank you to all who donated! We got to stay at the Anaheim Sheraton with other team mates and attended the TNT pre-race dinner the night before. That was very inspiring...we ate dinner with about 500 other participants, most of whom have survived a blood cancer or know someone who had or has it. we got to hear from a sister of someone who passed away from cancer recently. Hearing her story reminded us all of why we had trained and why we worked to raise funds for a cure, and why we were about to run 13.1 miles! These pictures were taken by friends and sent to us last week. The race started at 5am and we first ran through Disneyland so everyone would be finished and so the park could open at its regular time. We woke up at 2am to get ready because we had to meet our team in the hotel lobby at 3am, then walked to the starting line where we checked some things to pick up after the race and then found our starting line. There we waited about an hour for the race to start. It was nice to be done around 9am before it got too hot. It was great that the race wasn't one week earlier when temps would've been in the 40's here in LA at 3am!

| Post race. Right here all I was thinking was ..."shower.sit.eat.sleep" in that order. |

| Pre-race was fun. We were all anxious but ready. |
