Well folks I did it! I survived my first 1/2 marathon! I have to give all the credit to my running partner Jacqui for kicking my butt and getting me in by my goal time! I ran a 1:50 and feel really excited about it. It was my first ever half and I had no idea what to expect! There were definately a lot more hills and up hill so it was a pretty hard course but I felt very accomplished coming in when I did! Since I gave it my all I am feeling it today. My knee is killing me which is wierd because I don't have knee problems, but I am sure by tommorow I will be back ready and roaring to go!
Still don't think a full sounds like any fun, but we will see if that changes! Thanks for all the support!
Loved the name on the bib...people cheered for you like they knew you!

Wow you are wonder woman. Just be careful when you are spinning that your clothes don't fall off.
