You guys!!! Our last post was our 300th! *pats each other on the back*  It’s crazy that we’ve been doing this whole blog thing for right at about 3 years now! Thanks to those of you for sticking with us! Starting #LiAR has definitely opened us up to a wealth of knowledge (running and then some) and a lot of great frunners!  Shoutout to Mama C who, we believe, is responsible for coining that term! 🙂

Back to the original reason we sat down to write this post…..a half marathon about 5 weeks ago!  We posted some pictures on instagram, but still wanted to put some details out there.  We signed up to run The Texas Half in February.  The timing on this race was pretty perfect for around the time Teal wanted to run just one more half before she said good bye to racing half marathons during pregnancy.  Plus this year they were offering a jacket with your registration!  Apparently you change things up just a little bit from a shirt to a jacket and the people want to sign up for your race.  We were sold and handed over our moolah to The Texas Half.

Fast forward to race weekend and Saturday a front was moving in and bringing the cold weather back to DFW.  It was another one of those times of religiously stalking the weather to see what would happen.  We saw rain, we saw snow…..but what was really going to happen?!

Ultimately we didn’t give the race a chance.  We decided to let our current state of each of us growing a human + slower running + freezing temperatures = no race for LiAR.  You can call us wimps!  But the idea of having to run/walk a half in freezing temps just did not sound appealing nor did the idea of the weather potentially getting REAL bad and either one of us getting hurt.  We each still wanted to get miles in for the day so we hit up Beth’s gym together for some good ol’ treadmill miles.

26 weeks!

13 weeks

Between the two of us we put in 14.2 miles that day so if we pretend like it was a relay with just some extra mileage then we completed a half! YAY! 😀
