You don't say good job, I say good job!

First off-----SO HAPPY FOR YOU AARON AND DANIELLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

13. 1 miles...in two hours and 14 minutes, not my PR, but a lot faster than I thought we would finish. (my goal was 2:20) Mark was sweet to me and stayed with me. He could have had a faster time, but he choose to stick with me...thanks honey. It was a busy race...more than 7500 runners in just the half marathon. During all 13 miles we had to weave around other runners. It was a HOT day considering it is the middle of October...but I guess that is better than unseasonably cold weather. My parents came to Baltimore to watch the girls and support us in the race! We were so thankful for them and their support. They even came and met us downtown @ the end of the race. Thanks Mom and Dad for your support and love, we had a blast with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The line of the subject of this post is what a little boy said to one of the runners when we were running the race. Around mile 6 or so, there was this cute boy giving us high fives by the side of the road. One of the runners said, 'good job' to the boy and he said in a kinda cocky/funny tone he said, 'you don't say good job, I say good job!' So funny--it gave us a good laugh, another funny moment was around mile 11...24 for the marathon runners with us...a man from India (only important because you can visualize the accent) running up the hill screaming...'I want my metal...move out of the way...let me through, I want my medal'-also quite entertaining. It was fun to do this together as a couple:) This race was my 6th half marathon. I have ran them in five states...Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and now Maryland....it is my goal to keep running them...in all the places we travel to:) I feel pretty good today-minus a little pain under my right knee...I guess not too bad for a girl who is pushing 30:)...I know it doesn't seem as old as it did when I thought about it when I was 15.......
