The Half

I decided on a whim to run the Hobbler Half Marathon, since we would be in Utah for a month with not a whole lot to do. I trained for 12 weeks and prayed A LOT that I would be able to finish in a respectable time.
This was around mile 9, I was still feeling pretty good, although in all my pictures I always look so serious...I must have been in the zone.
I finished in 2:24:15, which was under my goal of an hour and a half. I learned a lot from this race, mostly, that I don't like to run races alone, that I need to do better at pacing myself and I would definitley train a little longer next time. However, this last birthday I made a personal goal to run a half marathon before my next birthday, so I made it with time to spare!

Yaay!! I will totally run your next race with you:) I feel your pain... running alone= not so much fun, but WITH someone = uninterrupted good times:) With the added bonus of finishing a race. Love it! Think you are amazing! Miss you...
