The Jack Daniels Distillery is just a couple of towns over in Lynchburg, and each year the Manchester Running Club hosts a half marathon there called the Oak Barrel to raise funds for various charities in town.
Last year several of our friends ran this half and talked about “Whiskey Hill”. It is a very steep hill and incline in the race.
Scott and I decided we were up for the challenge! For one thing…I am not pregnant anymore. And running is the best way for me to get baby weight off. 🙂
And Scott just started running this year and this was his first half. He is preparing for triathlons! He is the Man!
Here we are before the race
.The crowd is starting to join us…
Our dear friend from church Andrea Warren and her kiddos came to cheer us on, as well as others from our church who ran! She made us some personal posters. Scott got a turkey one since he loves to hunt, and I got an Indian looking one. 🙂
Here we are at the “After the Race” party. We both made it to the end. I ran slower this half than I did in the last one, but it hasn’t quite been a year since I had a baby…or at least that thought makes me feel better! Scott did awesome! He was under 2 hours!
