This past Friday a couple of friends and I ran the Amman Half Marathon. We are training for a marathon in January at Lake Tiberius, and it just so happened that this week was a 13 mile run for our training plan!
Here is the start, about a mile from downtown. It was a really neat experience to run through the empty streets of downtown Amman, and weird at the same time because downtown was packed with people, but they were all going about Friday morning business at the markets and not there to watch the race. It seems like most the fan fare was on the 10 km course. There was about 4000 runners for the 10 km race, where the half had only 300 and the full I think even less.
Thankful for my friends who like to run :).
It was a really fun morning, and I'm planning to do it again next year!

Good job Heather. What an interesting way to handle the race, just running through an active shopping area. Pretty cool. You are on your way for a great marathon.
Love, Dad and Mom P.
