Crazy, adventurous weekend here! All week my running buddy and I had been debating whether or not to run a half marathon over the weekend. It was going to be a perfect run in the middle of our marathon training. The wind was suppose to be gusting up to 40mph and that really was not going to be helpful when battling a 17 % graded hill in the middle of the run. We decided to bite the bullet and give it a go. Steamboat has been named the "Hardest Half in Texas", they were not lying. The hill was the killer, even the "warm up" hill was super challenging, however I do not think I was prepared for running into 40mph winds coming down the hill. I did not think it was possible to feel like you were running in place while going down such a steep incline. I was wrong, you can run in place coming down a mountainside.
Before our race!
After! With our medals!!
Unfortunately, on our way home a guy was not paying attention to the road and crossed the line at a big curve in the road and we t-boned his truck. His truck didn't even look like it was in the same wreck as ours. It could have been so much worse. I did not have any injuries, but my friend was burned on her arms from the airbag and also bit the inside of her mouth which bled quite a bit. That was pretty scary. My seat was pushed so far back on the passenger side that I did not even get grazed by the airbag. Thankfully, the other guy was okay too and we all walked away from the accident.

Way to go! Sounds like quite a challange.
I'm so glad you are all ok after the accident! Scary!
I'm so proud of you guys and your running skills! Way to go!! We are so thankful you are both ok after your wreck. God was definitely looking out for you there.
Oh my goodness! I'm so glad you're okay. The picture of you smiling in front of the destroyed car cracks me up a little. Only girls would do that!
