Happy 4th of July! Half Marathon Race Recap

We started off Independence Day in Colorado Springs with an early morning half marathon - HuHot Half on the 4th - on the Pikes Peak Greenway.  Deep in our closets Jess found her Team Aquaphor Red White and Blue and I pulled out some classic Saucony Red and White.  If you can't get in the patriotic mood on July 4th you might as well not show up!  The massive American flag and Air Force fly-overs added to the show and of course Colorado Springs showed up heavily on the trails as would be expected.  I was able to pull off 2nd overall in 1:20 and Jess pulled out a 1:53 in her longest race - and run!- since the Denver Marathon last October.  Now we are off to celebrate with the best American staples that exist - beer, BBQ, and fireworks.  We hope you have a fantastic 4th!
