1/2 #2

 Reed ran his second 1/2 marathon yesterday.

Reed and I went and picked up his packet on Saturday.  It's a big deal to get in the A group, you have to turning in official race times, and they have to approve you, so getting an A number is pretty cool. 


Quite a few of the cross country kids ran, and here are some of them along with their coach (who also ran it really fast).


Here's Reed's view at the starting line.  This is what it looks like at the "official" start time since he was in the first group.


Jason and I were able to see him after mile 4 where Reed gave us his pullover.



The lady looking on was super impressed with how fast Reed was going.

Speaking of fast...with the traffic, road closures, and getting stuck by the longest train I've ever seen we were never able to catch him again.  We've made a plan that next year we are going to go straight to the finish line from mile 4. 

Here he is with cross country friends that he finished with. 

And after we found him.  We were very proud.
