Mercedes Half Marathon 2012

Well, we ran it again! Richard and I decided to run the half marathon again this year. We recruited my cousin Daniel to run with us. As it got closer and closer to race day, we realized that the weather was not going to be as pleasant as last year. Saturday night we were wondering what we had gotten ourselves into and Sunday morning we were even regretting our decision to run. When we left my Mom and Dad's house at 5:45 on Sunday morning, there was frost on the car and the temperature read 24 degrees!! When we parked downtown Birmingham it was still on 24 degrees. We were bundled up and even had Hot Hands in our gloves, but our hands were still freezing. For the first couple of miles it was hard to even feel our toes! Although it was terribly cold, somehow we all managed to make it through and cross the finish line!
