Congrats Jamen!

A long 16 months has finally come to an end. Jamen's probationary tests have finally come to an end. He just received word today that he has successfully completed all of his tests and feels a huge sigh of relief and accomplishment. This has been a very challenging, yet rewarding year for us and I am so excited and proud of my husband. Good job, honey! I love you and appreciate all your hard work. Congrats!

Accomplished...

The Finish!
Going up again
Med Check/5.7 miles into the run, 5.5 to go!
The Start

My friend, Amy and I ran a very challenging 11.2 mile run on Angel Island today. This was our first race and a thigh/calf burning run. The hills were much steeper than we had trained, due to our lack of hills in Fresno, but the view was an amazing trade-off. 

The experience was amazing and it is so nice to say that we completed a challenge that we have trained for since August. I have to say that I am looking forward to a week off of running and I am looking forward to the next race!
