Jessica's First 1/2 Marathon

Jessica and her gal pals ran the San Jose Rock 'n' Roll 1/2 Marathon on October 5.
Ryan and crew waited at Mile 13 to cheer us on. They nearly missed me, I saw them first. Elise ran out to the street to see me and Nicole ran along side of me for a few feet. They were so excited!!
Below are the photos from the event. ENJOY!!!

Congrats on such a huge accomplishment! I don't think I could ever do that...although I have been doing a lot of training lately- just to get in shape...but twisted my ankle last week- I tripped and fell at Landon's school and my ankle is swollen and hurts so bad! Anyway, I'm biking now instead of running- less impact on my ankle!

So, GREAT JOB! We are so proud of you! AMAZING WORK! I'm sure you're even more proud of yourself-and you should be!
