I finished my first half marathon yesterday! After months of training, I'm glad to finally have it over. If someone had told me this time last year that I would be able to finish a 13.1 mile race, I would have seriously thought they were lying. It's definitely not something that I thought I would ever do. I have always enjoyed running, but only got into doing races this summer. I finished my first 5k back in June, and decided afterwards that I could have myself ready for a 1/2 marathon by the fall. It was hard work, but I made it! My goal was to finish in 2 hours 15 minutes or less. I knew after the first mile that I was having a good day, so I beat my goal! My official chip time was 2:05:45. I was pleased with that and I finished in the top half of the runners. I had a great time, and will definitely do one again one day. Just not for a while! My legs need to recover :) I've posted a few pictures.

Wow! I'm impressed! I know you must be proud! Congratulations! And now I'm typing just one more sentence so I can throw in another exclamation mark! :)
