13.1 miles

Brandon ran, his first and last (for a while), half marathon... The Hobbler Half.

Brandon decided back in May to get serious about running a half marathon, something that he has wanted to cross off his Bucket List for a while now. So he started a 12 week training program for it. Rain or shine, he stuck to his program faithfully. He even ended up doing a math class in the first summer block and that gobbled up A LOT of his spare time but when Brandon has a will there is a way.

Brandon's younger bro and sis Brent and Brianna, as well as my brother-in-law Luke, and his brother Kaleb, and my uncle Tyler (I am sure I could have said that much more simply) all ran the race with him.

Naturally being brothers, it was a competition to the finish line. This is them just feet from the finish... the look on their faces says it all!

 

Brandon had set a goal to finish at like 1hr 45min. but came in at like 1hr 35min (I can't remember the exact times and he is lame and wont tell me). He did WAY better then his best time training. I am so proud of his hard work and I was very excited to see it pay off.

Of course in support of him running all those miles and burning all those calories, I was happy to go get some blueberry pancakes at Cracker Barrel... Yes, I know, it's such a sacrifice to give support when it comes to eating a gross amount of food, but that's what makes me such a good wife;)

 Brandon says he is done with running... for now. He just doesn't feel the fever like some people do. But someday when we are done with school he wants to do a triathlon. So who knows, maybe he will get into biking in the near future!? You just never know with Brandon.
