It is finished!!!

The week I ran my half marathon has to be one I will not forget for a long long time. A little background on this....In 2003 I was training in hopes of doing a full marathon but due to medical problem I had to be all that on hold. Ever since I have wanted to run again. I finally had come to a time in my life I was capable of taking on the goal of a half marathon. With the help and huge encouragement from my husband this goal became a reality. I did it!! I completed my first ever half marathon!! My goal was to do the race in 2 1/2 hours. I finished the race at 2 hours and 37 minutes. I will take that!! I also got a medal for completing the race so I have that to always remember it by!! After doing the race I would love to do another one however, I am enjoying the flexibility in my workouts now and not stressing out if I don't make it 7 miles in one workout AND spending that time with my family. Believe it or not but it was a very time consuming hobby. I think the 2nd best part of the race day (behind finishing) is having my mom and dad be there to see it. Enjoy the pics!

Making sure the shoes were tied well!!Pretty sunrise starting to take place!

Still smiling at about 6 1/2 miles. One more lap to go!

Mile 13 and smile again!! I'm running so fast my hair was trying to keep up. Ha!

Here is the proof that I finished!! That is me and my time!
