13.1


I DID IT!!!!!!!! I wasn't sure I was going to make my goal of running a 1/2 Marathon after January took us for a spin of sicknesses and what not, but I made it! It was one of the hardest things I have done! I made a personal goal to be able to run it in 10 minute miles, not that great for a true runner, but for a rookie maybe????? I was able to achieve my goal coming in at 2hrs and 12 minutes. The last four miles for me were challenging to say the least...I mentally (and physically) had to keep going. I was so moved, because the girl that we all ran for, London past away from cancer a few years back and they had pictures of her posted throughout the run with words of encouragement. I was moved and felt that in some small way I really was giving back. A BIG shout out to my awesome husband who got the kids dressed, had them make signs and bring noise makers to help usher me into the finish line! Love you Babe! Couldn't have done this without your encouragement, belief in me and excitement, Thank you!
