Pensacola Marathon weekend...

Pensacola Marathon and half was this past Sunday. It is always such an amazing race. This year I went and met up with the BFF Melanie and Tristan to cheer Coach Ali and Steve, Tristan's husband in. Sometimes spectating can be just as rewarding as running the race.

I made it just in time to see Ali and Steve run through miles 2 and 6.

Since they were running the half, we headed back to the finish line area and waited for them to come through. The winner and 2nd place finisher came through at 1:14. Crazy fast...

Ali was not far behind them. He was running a great race. This was his first half marathon since his knee surgery and he came in at 1:24...

Steve paced a friend of his for the first 6 miles of the marathon and then broke off and finished the half in 1:30...

Shortly after Steve came in our friend Aaron came in at 1:38. Aaron had done the Spartan on Saturday and then ran an impressive race on Sunday...

I was also excited to to see Rebecca out racing after having her beautiful baby girl just 8 weeks ago. She ran an impressive 1:41. I swear shes superwoman!

Overall the race was great and it couldnt have ended up being a prettier day. Congrats to all the Half and Full runners. The winner of the full marathon came in at 2:33, its a crazy fast time. Come to find out he trains pushing a stroller with his child. I couldnt imagine, but maybe I need to borrow someones small child.:)

I hope you had a great running weekend. Dont forget we have started our running streak. From now until Jan 1st, run atleast 1 mile everyday and tag me 0to26point2 on a picture on instagram using the hashtag #f2fstreaking.
