1/2 Marathon

No not me. My husband ran a 1/2 marathon today.  We got up at 4am and drove down to Folly Beach.  We were going to leave last night  but I was to tired.  Yesterday Stephanie and I drove up to USC Upstate to look at the college.  I was very impressed.  To bad it was freezing cold, 34 degrees, pouring down rain and windy. It was just miserable weather.  So walking thur the campus was not pleasant but we survived.  If I had been dressed more appropriately like rain pants and my bog shoes than it would have been fine but I didnt want to embarrass Stephanie.
So we get down to Folly driving thur the rain the whole time. But when we get there it stops raining. I took the dogs for a 45 minute walk on the beach while Lou got ready to run.  When it was almost time to run, I put the dogs back in the car. Here's before the race.
As soon as the took off running it started pouring down rain. It continued to pour the whole time.  Im mean pour!  All I kept thinking was blisters on everyones feet from running with soaked shoes on.

Here is Lou coming over toward the finish line. See that huge puddle. They were all along the route.

I was so happy he made it and made his goal of finishing under 2 hours. As soon as he finished it stopped raining.

I took some pictures while he was running.



Then we decided to go home instead of spending the night at the beach.  It was just so miserable at the beach. So I took the dogs for another walk before we left.
