I'm so proud of my badass S.O.S. girls who ran an awesome half-marathon this weekend!
Ten of us (the girls, their spouses, and Dan and I), drove to Birmingham, England on Saturday afternoon for a quick weekend. We didn't have a lot of time for sight-seeing, but we had plenty of time for eating. Just because I wasn't running the race didn't mean that I couldn't carbo-load!
We found an all-you can-eat sushi restaurant for our first dinner. Can we say heaven?
I ate so much sushi that I felt physically ill the rest of the night. Seriously. I miss sushi a lot.
Our second dinner was a more classic pre-race dinner: Italian. I was still pretty full, so I just got a little dessert...ha!
Race day was a lot of fun for both the racers and spectators. There were more than 18,000 runners! Several runners dressed in full costume.
My girls did great! It was Alisha's first half-marathon and she blazed through it! Katie and Rachel both had personal bests and Karen had a fantastic race.
The girls definitely lived up to their "badass" nicknames. Well done ladies!!
