Jacob ran his second half marathon in October, even though last year he said he'd never run one again. :) But he's been running more this year and was better prepared, so he decided to run it. Also, I have to brag a bit because he's lost 30 pounds in the last 4 months! His weight loss has made running easier. He wanted to run the race in under two hours, but the hills on the course slowed him down. He finished in about 2 hours and 4 minutes, which I think is amazing considering that he took a whole 30 minutes or so off his time from last year! He's hoping to do another half in March and finally get under 2 hours. I'm so proud of him no matter what his race time is!
Before the race.
It was a beautiful day with nice cool weather for running.
Our good friend Haley ran too and did an amazing job, finishing in 1 hour 52 minutes! She's the one who told Jacob about the Huntsville race.
at the halfway mark
Katie was so good while we waited. She wore her "I love my daddy" onesie to show how proud she was of him. :)
At the finish line!
happy to be finished running
I didn't get pictures of Matt and his boys, but they were fun to hang out with while we waited. Also, thanks to the Kosters who came to see Jacob finish the race. He was so happy to have more people there to support him.
