Greg Baugues and Rachel Lazelle Got Married

Weeks ago Rachel decided that since she had only run five times in the last six months, it wouldn’t be wise to run the half we signed up for back in September.

But when we went to pick up my race packet on Saturday she got caught up in the pre-race hoopla and said “Well… maybe I could just start the race and then drop out after five miles or so….”

And so on Saturday, exactly one month before our wedding, Rachel and I started the Indianapolis Mini Marathon together.  2.5 hours and 13.1 miles later we crossed the finish line. Together.

What kind of woman just shows up and runs a half-marathon without training for it?  She is such a rockstar.  I couldn’t be more proud of her.

I am so ridiculously in love with this girl.

After the race, before the endorphins wore off.

I lived in Indy for 13 years. This was my first time to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
