I missed the last photo challenge over at A Step in the Journey, which was "hands". I never got around to taking a picture of anyone's or anything's hands. Things were pretty hectic during the week and I ran my first 1/2 marathon on the 2nd! Yup! 13.1 miles! It was a beautiful day in The Black Hills, but a little warm for a long run. I ended up running it in 1:57:14! I came in 8th in my division out of 68 and 120th overall out of 537 finishers. I was pretty happy with that time, especially considering it was my first 1/2. The last 2 miles felt absolutely awful, but I finished...and I only walked for about 30 seconds during the last 1/2 mile (and while I was drinking at the aid stations). It felt so great to cross that finish line! Quinn was waiting at the finish line and she gave me a big hug and cried...making me cry too. :)
Anyway, this week I am participating in the weekly photo challenge over at
A Step in the Journey. The theme is "
orange". Perfect for this month! So, on with the show...

Brooke, congrats on the half marathon! Wow. What a great accomplishment. Love the variety in your orange photos, great subjects! I did a double take on the sprinkles. At first glance they looked like baby carrots, but I couldn't figure out what the black things were ... then I read the caption. :)
Thanks Kathleen!
That's funny,...I thought the sprinkles were pills and thought that was kind of weird, lol. Great photos.
