Half marathon

So noa ran her first half marathon this past weekend. It was called the fall classic, and she signed up a few months ago when the end of november sounded probably cold, but alright. Well, it wasnt cold and alright, it was freezing with a little more freeze on top.

The day of the race, sunday morning, we woke up early and got out to UBC where the event was being held. i think it may have been -3C or so. the race was delayed a bit while they were making sure the roads were well salted.

Here is Noa putting on a brave face for the cold!
