On April 8, Kirsten and I traveled to Jackson, TN, so she could run in the Andrew Jackson 5K and so that we could watch some dear friends run their first full marathon. It was a great weekend for me, but all of the runners really struggled due to extremely hot temperatures -- actually they were called RECORD breaking temps. We missed the start of the full marathon but arrived to see several of our friends start the half marathon.
There were over 300 participants in this year's half marathon.
Kirsten, Hannah, Sarah, and Julie stretch before the start of the 5K.
I don't know how many runners ran this race, but it was not a large race.
The runners head off down the beautiful Union University Campus.
Kirsten struggled a lot in this race. The temperature was almost 90 and she was not ready to run in this warm weather.After the end of the 5K, we all watched the finishers of the half marathon, while waiting on the finishers of the full marathon.
The girls hold up a BIG banner cheering for Roan and Lynn.
These women are so impressive! It was a very difficult race to finish, they did not achieve their goal, but were still able to raise their arms and be excited about their accomplishment.
