It was a surprisingly cold morning in March for The Hague’s largest race. Unlike last year when Jimmy joggled with Veronica, this year he registered for the half marathon. At least he got to watch the girls finish this year.
That little kid with the long legs came in 7th out of 2,087 women! Overall she was 75th out of 3,745 runners with a time of 21:25 (6:54 minutes per mile). This was especially impressive considering she’d been sick and hadn’t been running or playing hockey.
In addition to having a great run, Veronica also had a lot of fun. She looks so beautiful and happy that I can’t help but think this photo should be in a running magazine.
Jimmy’s race didn’t start until later in the day. He opted to start at the end of his section. Normally this strategy works OK for him, but this time it meant that his chip didn’t register when he started the race so his time was inaccurate. Regardless, he was pleased with his results. While we watched the start of the race, we didn’t stick around for the 1:36 because of the cold temps.
