The Duggan Family - GA

Silly faces...best we could get

I had an official PR of 2:28:59 which was about 9 minutes faster than ATL half the month previous. Finally broke the 2:30 goal! With the last half marathon for the year in the books, I have a full marathon in my sites for next year

My baby growing up :)

Spending the afternoon at Chuck E. Cheese...yay

Second half and I finished 9 minutes faster than previous half. I hoped to break 2:30 but the elevation climb and calf cramps proved too much. Still, it was improvement

Adam wants pizza be to be our traditional meal for our bro dates.

Look out sixth grade ladies!

Over 2.5 hours of straight running. I hit the wall about 12 miles in and had to walk/ jog last mile. Side stitches about 7 miles in...calf cramps at 12...can't wait until the next one!

We also had a chance to stop at the magic shop and candy shop for tricks and treats!

Ribs, cookies, and car wash...my kids spoiled me!

Adam's first time away from home at scout camp was loads of fun (according to him). Rafting, electronics, woodworking, and other activities kept him busy and his homesickness to a minimum!

Justin killed it by finishing his Ironman 140.6 miles in 10:15 hours. What an inspiring day it was. We are all proud of Justin and his accomplishments!

LaFae killed it this morning in her second obstacle race. She said this one was not as intense as Spartan, but still had its challenges. Especially the brain teasers! Lol!

We had a great time up near Cleveland GA! The weather was perfect and Adam had a great time with all the boys. We also completed a 5.06 mile hike Saturday morning as part of his scout camp requirements. Awesome time!

Adam and I enjoying pizza before his first Priesthood session of Conference. What a fun evening we had!

What a crazy day! Fae and I competed in the Spartan Sprint in Conyers. 4+ miles and 15 obstacles, it was definitely an experience we'll never forget! Fae finished 1:41:43 which put her 21st out of all the women that raced! I finished in 2:30:03 which put me at 3154 out of 4088 racers. It was tough but we finished it!

Our little boy is not so little anymore! Oreo ice cream cake and video games enjoyed by all!

$2.00 bill for the special occasion

Our annual trip to McD's. Bittersweet (for me) as this will be Adam's last Fab Father's Bfast as he moves into middle school year.

All 4 girls came with me tonight for chicken sandwiches, ice cream and a guided tour of the kitchen! Priceless!

Finished with PR 32:59. Good race and accomplished my goal of at least breaking 35:00. Now my sites are set at sub 30:00 this year!

I left the room for like 5 minutes and came back to this. Lena with a bandaid on her nose saying "the wall hurt me"!

As 2011 comes to a close, we reflect on the many blessings we were able to experience this year. It is with excitement and hopefulness that we look forward to 2012, and ask that our Heavenly Father watch over us and guide us in all our doings. Have a great new year family & friends!
