Stretching at the start line with my personal coach.
Counting the hold of the stretch.
At the start line with Hope and Sabrina with the OSU Band in the background. Last September when Julie started running while Sabrina was in school, there was no thought of running races or long distances. However, by Thankgiving a 10K Turkey Trot was run and then most recently, the Corvallis Half Marathon. (13.1 miles)This year was the second half marathon in Corvallis and it was a well supported event.Not only did community members come cheer on the runners, but the OSU Marching Band was at the starting line and along the route encouraging the runners. This year about2000 entries either ran or walked the course and it was like running in a package of
sardines for the first five miles.
Sabrina and Randy placed themselves in a location where they could walk and cheer twice. (The traffic and streets were closed in many places along Corvallis so strategizing the day was important for all. Julie's dad also cheered in another location which was fun to have the encouragement. 
Other cheerers held cowbells, played music (think Rocky Theme Song) It was a great sense of accomplishment. 
However, we need a little break before accurately answering the question if we would ever do this again.
