Yay - we finished! I think we look so happy here because the end is in sight, finally (thanks, Julie for cheering us on and taking some pics!). We didn't quite meet our goal of finishing in under 2 hours, but we came pretty close. And no, we didn't plan to wear coordinating Christmas-colored shirts - it just worked out that way somehow.Irvine is nice and flat, but we realized (too late!) that it was a ridiculously inane course in general - lots of running in circles, and lots of annoying bottlenecks on the narrow bike path parts:
Maybe next time, I'll look at the course map before signing up.But hey, at least it wasn't raining.
We got beat by a lot of old men, jr. highers, and even some 10-year olds. The worst is that some girls dressed up in elaborate felt elf costumes finished before us, too. Oh well.
Next up: Surf City USA Half-Marathon on Superbowl Sunday. Join us!

good job, I'm so proud of you big sis!
Two things:
1. Did you wear your new ASICS? How'd they work out?
2. Isn't in un-American to run a half marathon on Super Bowl Sunday? It's practically a national holiday.
Yeah, Page, I wore my new shoes and loved 'em! Especially the orange racing stripes - they definitely helped me go faster. Thanks!
And who really cares about Super Bowl Sunday anymore? Now that everybody has TiVO, you can just cut right to the good stuff. And by that, I mean the commercials. :)
