Thirteen Point One




I did it! I accomplished my goal of running a half marathon. I ran it yesterday and had so much fun. The race went really well. I was kind of nervous and anxious before the race. But, once I started running I felt fine. It had a lot of down hill which felt great while I was running (I'm feeling it now though). My friend Mandy ran it too. I completed the race in 2 hours 9 minutes which I felt great about. JP and the boys came to send me off at the starting line. He was totally a super dad and husband to do this. He had to get the boys out of bed at 5:30 a.m. and just put them in the car still in their p.j.s. He changed them into the clothes later and took them to McDonalds for breakfast. This race was well organized and had awesome scenery, but did not have a lot of places for spectators. He was able to cheer me on and get some pictures at mile marker 12. Then I found them at the finish line.

Way to go! And look at you keeping up with those guys all around. You look awesome. I'll probably be seeing you beginning of July and in August.

Congrats! That is so great. I hate running and I doubt I could ever do that, but I truly admire those that can.

Hello there! I got your blog from your husband at work. It is great. Man I am impressed that you ran all that way. I would have gone down for the count at mile 5.
