Sphinx Run Fest '11







This year my darling Mr. Clark only ran the half marathon at the Sphinx Run Fest.  I say only but really, I'm unbelievably impressed.  It takes me the better part of an hour to run a 5K so I can't imagine running 13 + miles in a little over an hour.  

At 8:30am the kids and I were stationed in the stands at Fluor Field, anxiously waiting for Bobby.  It had rained the night before so everything was wet and it was freezing cold.  We didn't care though.  The kids made the cutest signs for him and were determined to support him, even if it meant getting up ridiculously early and getting frostbite to do so.  I am so incredibly proud as Bobby ran toward the finish line and the kids started jumping up and down, holding up their signs (Hannah had hers upside down) and yelling encouragement for him.  This is my beautiful family!

Official finish time:  1:38:43
Pace:  7:32
Finish:  76th out of 1269 runners (not too shabby babe!)
I would probably look a whole lot worse if I just ran 13.2 miles.  I probably wouldn't even be breathing :-)

The Clark's Next Big Adventure

So much for keeping the blog updated this year 😂  The Clark family is embarking on another adventure though and it's too big not to doc...
