I'm glad you had a fun time - it's so great to have a friend to run races with, even when you have to change your pacing or intervals. And how cool that you two were in sync! Also, Abby running is so cute! I always love when I see kids racing (passing me, of course - where do they get all of that energy??) - 3 miles must be so far for them!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-87959087211859239642014-03-05T18:43:38.895-06:002014-03-05T18:43:38.895-06:00Oh, Jeff!

We have a race in our town in the middle of March - it's a half marathon and it's the first "official" half marathon of the season, so it's quite weird to see so many people run it in our small town. It's been 70 degrees and gorgeous, and it's also been 20 degrees and snowing. I think this year snow will win!

My friend Pete said the way you have your best race ever is that everything finally aligns... weather, health, shoes, clothes, etc. I think that's rare. In fact, I'm still waiting for it to happen.<br /><br />You guys did a great job and I like that you run for fun together, no matter what.
