Team Smith took to the streets of Nashville this past weekend.... on foot, for 13.1 miles. We decided back in January to run the Nashville half-marathon. I was fully expecting my knee to give out a couple of weeks beforehand, so I didn't get too excited about it, assuming that I would have to drop out again this year, but fortunately my knee held up! Dad has run a couple of full marathons before, but this was a first half for both Ashley and me. And we did it! Ashley has a bum knee as well, but we both did great, despite both of our knees hurting around mile 6. We finished, without walking, and I'm so glad that the three of us did this together! As dad said, "we're making memories!"

| Our theme for the race... Fitting. Although dad is not technically called a pastor, we couldn't think of anything clever than rhymed with preacher or minister. |

| Pre Race. Before the pain :) |
 |
| Proud of our medals. |
 |
| Aren't we cute?! |

| Mom's stance on driving to LP Field with road closures for the race.. "All y'all had to do was run... getting down here was stressful!" |
On another note.. Please continue to pray for the families of those who lost their loved ones, homes, schools, businesses, during the terrible tornadoes in Alabama last Wednesday. If you would like to find a way to help, you can go to myfoxal.com and click on the "How to help, donate and volunteer"
