I finished my first 1/2 marathon! Whew....I am glad that is over.
Here is what I learned:
A 1/2 is A LOT shorter than a full. :)
I would have never run a full if I ran a 1/2 first.
Running with a friend is fun.
Running with a lot of friends is even better.
I don't like running with music. (weird, right?)
Training for a race is super time consuming.
Running/Training takes a lot of support from family.
(thanks Ryan)
(thanks mom and dad for watching the kiddos)
(thanks to the rest of the fam for cheering me on)
Ryan met me at the finish line!
This was literally 10 seconds after I finished. I was so glad to see him and STOP running!!!
I trained with these lovely ladies.
I couldn't have done it without them!
I ran the full in intervals which I loved!
I ran the whole time in this race and finished in 2 h. 12 min. which isn't amazing but good enough for me. My goal was to finish......check.

You are AMAZING! I am so proud to be your friend! :) I really am jealous of your determination! Congrats! Can't wait to see you all in just a week and a half :)
nice job! i'm such a terrible runner. but when i do, i don't like the music either! (well, sometimes i do). mostly i like to kind of become hypnotized by the rhythm of my feet and the sound of my breath. is that what it is for you too, or am i just nuts? :) i'm so impressed with your determination! congrats!
