Training has been a little rough for me because the farther I got in the training the more knee problems I began having (AGAIN!!). I'm happy to say, though, I finished and it wasn't even my worst time.
Nate, Andrew and our friend Banke (we call him by his last name, really it's Chris) came to watch us at the finish line. Nate brought our camera along in an attempt to get some great shots of me finishing.... Well, sometimes it's not so easy.
Erin's best photo is her nearing the finish line:
An awesome picture of our friend/ex-neighbor Jenny:
And the best photo of me:
Hahaha.. It's funny how it worked out.. I thought Nate saw me coming up the whole time because the camera was on me. Little did I know he was searching the crowds. Nate has been to all 5 of my half marathons (such a supportive boyfriend), yet something happens and he just misses me.. Every time. Poor guy works so hard looking through the thousands of people and only catches glimpses of me :(
It was a fun day and a successful run. We were lucky enough to even take a picture with a celebrity. He wasn't much of a talker though:
I hope to be able to accomplish the Triple Crown this year. It is awarded to runners who finish all 3 of the San Diego Half Marathons. First things first, though, I need to get my knee checked out. I'll keep you all posted.

Haha! Look at us a-runnin! We did it LUVA! At least in my picture I was a little more excited than that girl to the left! :o)
Congratulations! I'm glad to see you're running again. I was working at water station 1 and 12 but I didn't see you in that crazy mass of people. :)
I need some of those runnin' genes.
