Carter Family Runners

While my parents were in town, we took advantage of their child-watching capabilities and signed the whole family up for races at the Palmetto Half Marathon. (Except Benjamin -- gotta show your commitment to the sport by learning to walk first, buddy.)

The girls did the kids' fun run, and Anda looked great out there, as always.

And Lilah successfully ran her whole first race, refusing to take a break or to wear appropriate clothing. As always.

You go, girls!

I didn't take any pictures of myself, but I did the 5k and came in 3rd in my age division, with probably my best ever official 5k time (27:38), after being injured for two months and not running at all. I was pretty proud!

But the MVP was Dan who came in second over all in the half marathon, achieving his out of control goal of 1:22:00. 

Go team!
