Today was the Hamptons Half and Full Marathon out at East Hampton, Long Island. The day started with a 4:30am wake up via the alarm clock. UGH. We had most everything prepared from the night before so we could just get up and go. We hopped in the car at 5am (with Ella of course), and set off. 2 hours later, we arrived. The weather was perfect for running - nice and cool with a lovely breeze. The race started at 8am. I finished in a personal best time of 2:03:50. My last half, you may recall, I ran in 2:07. So, managed to knock over 3 minutes off my time since June. Not too shabby! Got home in one piece...and collapsed for a 2 hour nap. Ella had been very cranky all day...turns out she had a fever! Poor little thing - 101.7! We gave her Motrin and an ice pop, and she settled down nicely, went to sleep like a champ. Hopefully she sleeps through the night! Here's some photos!
Pre-race
Just crossed the finish line (Note: the time says 2:04:13 - my actual time was 2:03:50, due to not crossing the starting line until 30 seconds after the start!)
Home - with my medal!
Bonus photos:
Ella enjoying her time with Grandpa Nick and Grandma Sheila!
Nice family photo
Conehead?
Ella LOVES that chair!
My view of the little menace
Pestering Ainsley as usual
