1/2 Marathon

First Race

My Superman DH has been training really hard for his goal of running a marathon this year. He ran his first race at the beginning of April, which was a 15 mile run. He averaged 8 minute miles and did very well for his first race! It was a very casual race for him. He even stopped to give the kids hugs and shake my dad's hand where we were cheering for him! Too funny!!!

Finished!!!

1/2 Marathon

2 weeks ago he completed his second race which was a 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles) and averaged 7:33 minute miles...which rocks! I am so proud of him and his accomplishments! The kids and I cheered him on at mile 5, mile 8, mile 11 and of course the finish line!

Smiling at mile 8!

Still smiling at mile 11!

2 of his faithful supporters! DD9 and DS7

Strong finish!

"We love you Daddy!!!!"

I'm so proud of my hubby! He is superman for sure!!!

What a great accomplishment! I've told my DH about your DH's great transformation and he thinks it's awesome and very inspiring. I think it may even be one of the reasons he's back at the gym :) (even though he's usually pretty consistent at working out). He loves the Cliff bars too.
