White Rock Half Marathon

We ran in the White Rock Half Marathon in Dallas on December 4th. The weather was not ideal but we had a blast!
We started running in May and followed this plan.
Hilary's goal was the finish without stopping to walk and we ran the entire time. Heath had a time goal that we met so we were both were pretty freaking excited. We finished in 2:28.
Thank goodness we had these free ponchos. We tucked them under our hats and they kept us pretty dry. It rained on us the entire time but you just got used to the wet and cold.
Before the race trying to stay warm. We got there incredibly too early....oh well, we will know for next year.
Heath ran the entire race with a cone head.....we saw lots of very interesting ways to stay dry.
This was us after the race. We got our medal, t-shirts, a beer (weird, yes, but very tasty), and then ran a little further to the DART rail and jumped on it back to Plano with a whole lot of wet and tired people! Heath wants to run the full next year. We are planning on running in 3 other half marathons this spring.

Here are the puppy dogs during the race. Heath worked so hard and finished their dog house before we left and put a web cam inside so we could access them anytime. This is basically what we saw, lazy dogs! There's a heater in it as well so they were warm and toasty :)
