What a fun weekend it has been. We went down to Kansas City on Friday for the race. Matt ran the 5K and I ran the half marathon. It is such a fun city and a beauitful course (I ran the full marathon last year and I have to admit that scenery is much better on the full marathon, but the half was still great.) Matt finished the 5K in 22 minutes and I did the half marathon in 2 hours and 9 minutes. He did not wait in his race clothes at the finish line so I don't have any good pictures of him...






















There were several of our neighbors that ran in the marathon and half marathon. I ran the entire time with Heather Yates. Her husband is in dental school with Matt. It was so great having her there. I helps to have someone pushing you.


The best part of Kansas City...the BBQ. After the race we went to Oklahoma Joe's for lunch. It is an amazing BBQ restaurant....well restaurant is a strong word. It is actually a restaurant in a gas station (they now have other locations, but this is the original and has the best food). However, it is really good. The line is always out the door. We waited over an hour in line to get our food. We were all so hungry that it didn't take long to polish off disgusting amounts of food in just a few minutes.





























We spent the rest of the day walking around the city and swimming at the hotel.
