Well I made it!! The goal was to finish the 1/2 in two hours and we finished four minutes over, I’m am completely ok with that! The Dexter to Ann-Arbor course was a monster. It took me about 5 miles to really get into it, get my breathing right and get in synch. The whole race was beautiful and the other runners were great. They would run up to Kevin and I and ask what our Rock CF shirts were about. This gave us a chance to spread the word about CF and what we are doing to Rock it!

On the course I ran into an old respiratory therapist from Children’s and an old friend from high school. I was greeted at the finish by my mom, dad, brother Jason, brother Adam’s wife Marcy, Steph, Marcy’s friend, Kevin’s wife and another racer friend.
I am definitely sore today. Those hills were killer and it took some pushing to get up them so I thought of all my CF friends when I was running up the last hill at mile 12.

Bring on the next race baby and Rock CF!
