Running Together!

Julie, my friend Olga, and I ran the Coca-Cola Women's 10K (6.2 miles) Run today. What a blast, and what a beautiful run through the City Park, through Heroe's Square, and down Andrassy Avenue. Dennis did his own run, catching us at different points on the course to cheer us on and take pictures. How fun to have Julie here to experience this run with me!
The running trio, though we all separated to run our own race just after crossing the start line.

Julie (center in blue t-shirt) entering Heroe's Sq. - I ran through this spot about 10 minutes later :).
A smile for the camera as she stays strong in the second half.
Too focused to smile at the camera. 
About to cross the finish line. Reached my goal of finishing in less than an hour.
Afterward we soothed our muscles at one of the 50 thermal baths in the city.
