Lindsey ran her first half marathon yesterday in Mt. Vernon, Washington. The race was held a little over an hour north of Seattle at a little junior college and ran through a bunch of farms and dairies. The course was rather hilly, and I'm sure nothing was more refreshing for Lindsey than struggling up the steeper hills to be greeted by curious horses lining the fence lines and a fresh breath of dairy air (for those of you with Lunt blood, imagine how refreshing it was coming down the hill in Duncan and breaking through the cloud of vaporized manure to get to Grandma and Grandpa Lunt's). After running the first couple miles with Lindsey, I was happy to break away from the half-marathoners to finish the 10K course. This was my first 10K, and I think it's such a great race. I don't know if I'll ever do a half or full marathon, but I do plan on doing some more 10K's. Lindsey ran the whole race without stopping, unlike many of her cohorts, and made that finish line sexier than ever. We forgot to take our camera, but I did get some shots with my phone.

| After finishing the 10K, I took Pearl about half a mile up the road to watch for Lindsey as she neared the finish line. |

| Lindsey crossed the finish line in style...it's a sweaty style, but a very classy sweaty style... |
