After months of training and a lot of excitement & anticipation, Ed ran his 1st Half Marathon yesterday! I cannot even express how proud I was of him and his awesome achievement! He finished the 13.1 mile race in just over 2 hours (2:11:21, to be exact). As he approached the finish line, he barely even looked tired – he was smiling and even came to the sidelines to give us hugs and high-fives!
Ed said the course was beautiful. It began in Newport Beach at Fashion Island and ended at the Orange County Fairgrounds. Much of the course was along the water. He even took some photos with his iPhone as he ran! (Check out the photo album here)
We had a nice little cheering squad just past the 13 mile marker to watch Ed come in. Being a spectator at this event was super exciting, and very inspiring! Here’s a shot of Ed’s cheering squad:
And here’s Ed as he’s coming in – looking great!
Jarod even caught a video clip as Ed passed by us on his way to the finish line!
Yes – he does!!!
Thanks to everyone who came out – and to those who showed all the love & support even if they couldn’t be at the finish line. This was a great day for him and a great accomplishment!!! GO ED!
