over the weekend, we traveled down to the states so that kent could run the fargo half marathon. the forecast was sucky - 100% chance of rain, with a possibility of thundershowers. even suckier was that i wouldn't be going to fargo with him. instead, i stayed in grand forks with my sister and brother in law. so sadly, i have absolutely no pictures :( i guess it'll go hand in hand with my almost non-picture from last year's manitoba marathon.
the cool thing about the fargo marathon is that they have an online runner tracker, so i could watch his progress online. kent was really nervous since he had an ankle injury about a month ago, which impacted his training, and we had a winter that seemed to go on forever, which also affected his training. thank goodness we bought an elliptical in january, as he was at least able to train on that.
turns out he had nothing to worry about. he shaved 8 minutes off his time from last year's half!
not sure if you can see all the stats on the right, but he ran a 7:38 mile, which means he finished 283 out of 6157 people. and for his age category (30-34 males), he finished 45th! not bad considering he said he felt terrible and off his game the entire race.i'm so proud of him! now here's hoping he beats this time at the manitoba marathon in a month. (and here's hoping i get a picture!)

Way to go Kent! Maybe we'll see you at the Manitoba Marathon. We're hoping to go as a family.
