Photos are out from the Omaha Half Marathon. I like these these best out of the ones they caught of me. At least they always caught me running! There was A LOT of walking! 🙂

First picture is in the Stadium, I was so close to the end I could taste it. 2nd picture is crossing the finish line and the 3rd is with my new friend Kevin.

We befriended each other on the course around mile 10. We had been passing each other the entire race and then at mile 10 I came up beside him and we started chatting. His wife is super fit. This was his 2nd half. He’s from Omaha but moved to KC then moved back to Omaha. He works at a local college in the Dean’s office. ( What? I’m a journalist! I ask good questions! I’m really good at getting to know people.) We stayed together until 12.5 miles in, then he couldn’t do it, and told me to go ahead. It was nice to have a buddy for some of the race.
