On Sunday, October 7, Mal and I completed our third half-marathon together. What started off three years ago as a challenge to ourselves has evolved into a tradition. Each year we've done a half-marathon together and it's been a fun way to connect as sisters.
There's nothing that brings folks quite together after dining over a pre-run pasta meal, doubting those training sessions (and lack-of training sessions), getting up early and walking to a start line and then finishing with sore parts (feet, hips, knees... insert body part of choice).
It could be argued that the finish is the best part of it all, but it's not. It's another run completed with my longest-running (see what I did there?) best friend.

| Our friend Teresa ran with us! |

| Mal's one year dessert fast ended that weekend. What a perfect time to end it- the night before our run! |
 |
| Thanks to donations from friends, I was able to take a trunkful of shoes to donate to needy people in third world countries. |
 |
| Yay!! Sporting our completion medals after the run. |
