We did it!

Well we finally did it!  We completed our first race!  Results are here.  Our goal was to finish in the top half and we finished 22/23 out of 54.  Great fun and I think Nicky and I are both hooked!  Trail running was a lot harder than the course we've been training on, but even still we kept up a good pace.  Funny thing about running a race, there's not a lot to take pictures of.

Our next challenge is to find a 10k run in March or so.  We want to do a charity type run if possible.  Having a goal to work toward and train for was really nice, and it helped motivate us on nights when we were feeling unmotivated.

It's also a little hard to find ways to train for a race with young kids.  Then again, the challenge is what makes it worth it.. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.
