Mike and Chris completed a half marathon on Saturday morning in 3 hours and 40 minutes. Mike did not do as much training as he should have which resulted in many leg cramps the last little bit of the race and needed a little help, but he can now say he FINISHED a half marathon (13.1 miles). He did tell me he was never going to do it again but we will see. I told him I would train with him if he wanted to do a shorter run such as a 5 or 10 K. Maybe I am crazy but I think it would be good for the both of us. I am very proud of him for finishing. Good job Babe!

Almost to the finish line.
Walking through the finish line. (Chris Hazlett walked up about a mile from the race to find them and was able to help Mike across the finish line.)
Right after the race Mike collapsed on the ground because of his leg cramps and this was several minutes after that he was actually sitting up and shows somwhat of a smile.
