Mountain Gobbler 1/2 Marathon

I'm doing this race EVERY year!! I placed 2nd in my age group, Cara and Leslie placed 1st in their age groups. LOVE IT!!

Ok so there was only 25 people running the 1/2 marathon, but still....we placed!!

Pretty freaking awesome, considering it was her first race ever!

Friday morning, Cara, Leslie and I left around 9:30 headed to Blairsville, GA. We stopped in Dawsonville at the outlets and did some shopping. We ate a yummy lunch at Chick-fil-a, then headed to Cara's mom's hair salon in Blairsville. We met her Mom, sister and her cute nephew Bentley. We stayed with her Dad and stepmom in Hayesville, NC where the race was held. It was a great race! We had so much fun even though it was a really small race.
