halloween half marathon

last weekend we ran the halloween half marathon. it was a great course starting up above sundance on the alpine loop and ending down the canyon just before the shops at riverwoods. we both got our best times so far so we were happy. all the downhill left us with some pretty sore gams over the next days following the race but it was worth it. 

it was hard coming up with costumes that we wouldn't want to throw in the gargbage after 13.1 miles but we managed somehow. adam was a pirate and i was a cat. we weren't the most festive ones there but i'm happy to say our costumes didn't bother us one bit!

our race stats:
there were about 3,400 runners total, over 2,300 women and almost 1,000 men
adam finished 35th overall for the guys, 4th in his age group with a time of 1:24 (6:27 mile average)  
jess finished 19th overall in the girls, 1st in her age group with a time of 1:30 (6:55 mile average)
