13.1

This morning, my amazing husband was up at 5:45 and out the door at 6:00 to head downtown to run the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon!  The kids and I (minus Ethan, who is at the Awana campout) headed down around 8:30 to catch the end of Jonathan's run.  We waited just before mile 13, and were able to catch about 20 seconds of Jonathan's 2+ hour run.  We are so proud of him!  He said it felt good, and he's looking forward to running it again next year.  Way to go, Babe!

For those that may not know, the Mini is a half-marathon: 13.1 miles.  The Indianapolis 500 Festival Mini Marathon is the largest half-marathon in the WORLD!  Jonathan was running with approximately 35,000 other runners.  The temperature seemed perfect for running, and the rain held off for most of the run.  Jonathan said it rained during his last 4 miles or so, but it was just sprinkling.  We were able to meet Jonathan in Military Park after the race.  Great job, Jonathan!

Edit:  Jonathan's official time was 2:06:59.  His pace was 9:41 per mile.  :)
