Ottawa Race Weekend – Half Marathon Adventures

This past weekend was Ottawa Race Weekend here in Capital! I spent Sunday morning cheering on my husband as he ran his first half marathon! I could not have been more proud of all his hard work and awesome time of 1:47:22. I got to see him start the race, again around the 17km mark and then crossing the finish line. It was a fun morning and big props to all the runners throughout the weekend!

There he is in the grey tshirt getting started down Elgin st!

These next two people make me want to run a marathon. I would either a) like to have abs like this women or b) want to wear a costume that features a cape. To be honest I cant decide which one I want more.

Sometimes at race weekend, when you are only half paying attention to things around you, your cousin runs by you and you manage to get a picture! Shout out to Dan who finished with an awesome time of 1:37:01. It is slightly irritating how easy he is making this running-thing look. I was tired just standing for the length of the race.

The lady and her son standing next to me were waiting for a runner to come by and when he did they were so excited (and so was the runner!). The people along the way cheering really make the race that much better.

There goes Brent at the 17k mark! Still looking alive and giving me a little wave!

I hope everyone had an amazing race weekend and big congrats to my husband for finishing strong and kicking some half marathon butt! Dont tell him I told you…. but tomorrow is actually his 30th Birthday so its going to be week of celebrations for us!
