Sunday (awhile back) was Justin's half marathon race. We all got up at 4:30 so we could get Justin to the starting ling and then find a spot to park. We waited in the car for a little while, reading, eating breakfast, and just waking up before heading over to mile 9 to watch for him.
(The pictures aren't in order for some reason)
This picture was walking back to the car after the race was over.
Caroline making sure her dad is doing ok.They had a video of the finishing line that was on a 20 minute delay. You could get something to eat and drink then watch yourself cross the finish line!
Justin did very well, finishing with an average of 8:33 per mile!! He beat his time from last year so he was pleased. After leaving the race area we headed over to spend the rest of the day at Bellows.
The boys chased and tackled each other.
We enjoyed sitting in the sunshine!
We had a picnic lunch.
We also went to the creek area and played in the waters there. Look how tall Caroline is getting! Up to my shoulders already!
The water draining out made a sharp left so Caroline and I 'cut the corner' seeing what would happen to the 'island' that was left. We made jettys with our arms and watched the erosion happen until our island was no more. It was pretty cool!
More race pictures. Our neighbor took this during the first couple miles of the race. The girl is a friend and the boy head in the bottom of the picture is of our 10 year old neighbor that ran the whole thing in 2:11!! And he is doing another half in a few weeks. Incredible!
Early morning sitting on a curb waiting for dad to come by!
There he is at mile 9. He's getting ready to go up a big hill around Diamond Head.
Finishing!
After spending the day at Bellows we went to the Kona Brewing Company for dinner.
Getting up at 4:30 means snuggles with mom on the beach, turn into a nap!!
Congrats Justin on another race well done!!
