Cat and I ran in the City of Angels Half Marathon yesterday...so glad I did it, but WOW am I in pain today...it was a perfect day for it in terms of weather and Coach Cat did a great job of getting us ready for the run, plotting out various courses for us to train with over the past two months. 
The race course was great - not too many hills, but some great scenery!
As you might suspect, Cat smoked me, but I pretty much held my 10-minute-per-mile pace, so I was happy with that...

Carly Lima 2:11:43
Here's Cat crossing the Finish Line...
And me a "few" minutes later...
The whole gang came out to support us and Tony and Daisy even ran with me for about a quarter mile of the last stretch!
I had to include this picture as well because it is so funny how the guy on the right accidentally walked into the picture right as Doug took it, but it totally looks like he was posed, standing next to Paul!
After the race, we all went to the Grove for brunch, stopping to take a quick pic in front of Santa's Workshop
Later that night, we met up with Erin and Grandma at Taste of Texas so we could hear all about Paul and Erin's Aussie Adventures...next time you see Erin, be sure to ask her about the "salties" and the "freshies" (crocodiles)!
