Well, I don't usually post about me, but I did something that I would never have thought that I would have done and I REALLY want to share it all with you......
I finished a Half Marathon! That's right, 13.1 miles! Done! It took me 2 hours and 48 minutes, averaging 12:50 minute miles. That, for me, is incredible, considering that I walked about 1/2 of the race and had to cut my training way short after some pretty serious knee pain a couple of weeks after starting my training plan! I am so incredibly happy that I did it and I actually can't wait to do another one! It was a wonderful experience, one that I can't wait to do over and over. And, I would like to work on cutting down my time and actually running the entire distance. Here are a few pictures of our weekend....I did this Half Marathon in Eugene, OR with my sister and my good friend, Stephanie. We stayed the night before and got a little rest in before the race.
Here we are, all icing our injuries the night before the race =)
This is the morning of, bright and early, before we walked down to the starting line.

Here we are, at the starting line, just waiting for the gun to go off.
And this is Erika and I the day after. We didn't get a good picture of the 3 of us after the race. There are pictures, but I will never let anyone see them =) I look like I'm almost dead! Hehe. So, you'll have to settle for the day after picture.

Two things:
1. So so so proud of you. With the knee injury you could have said "next time" and quit. I think it is awesome you are taking time for yourself and focusing on a few of your goals!
2. Posts about you make me miss you more. Seeing your face....:( :( Sad sad sad. I miss my best friend.
Ok 3 things.
3. I love the turtle ticker but there is no way you have 58 pounds to lose, so cut it out!
