Chandra's Half Marathon... Finally!

This weekend was the White Rock Marathon... and FINALLY, Chandra got to run her Half.

If we all remember, I ruined Chandra's "half" this year when "Clumsy Dumbsy" decided to climb over a barrier... and down goes Regan! Ahh... good times.

To make sure Chandra got to the race on time, I stayed overnight. We got up around 5:30, and departed around 6ish. Well, as she gabbed, I sped... and made sure she was there WAY before her desired time. So we arrived around 6:30 to the American Airlines Center (AAC).

After fighting a little traffic, we parked. Kevin and Becky arrived around 7:30, and we left Chandra before her 8am start time so that we could catch her at the 3-mile mark.

It was exciting... thrilling... and I was NOT at all jealous of all of the runners while I spectated. Seriously! I was fine and dandy to cheer and clap and encourage those doing what I can't do right now.

Chandra came by (you can see it in one of the pics above) and we were all excited. Then we left... we wanted to catch her at that 6. Unfortunately, we ran into a lot of traffic. After a while, we realized we missed her and should re-focus our attention to the 9.

Well, we parked A LONG WAY from the 9. Once we got there, we waited patiently... and waited and waited and "what the hey???" We started noticing people walking. What's going on?

What was going on was the idiocracy of it all... we were standing at the wrong spot. We were at the 6! Son-of-a...

We then headed back to the truck and decided we needed to head back to the AAC. I drove fast... and once we arrived and parked, Kevin and Becky looked out in the distance. And what did their eyes see? A streaking (sprinting) Chandra...

As if it was in slow-mo, I screamed and passed the camera to Becky... "RUN BECKY, RUN!!!" Well, she ran as fast as she could... but Chandra was quicker... and made it across the Finish Line before Becky could find her.

So Chandra finished in 2:29... that's very good! Congrats Chandra... I'm so glad you didn't break anything, and you finally got your Half in for the year!
