I DID IT!!

Yesterday was the big day!  The day I have been training the past 9 weeks for!  Yesterday was my very first half marathon!

Since I ran my first road race ever back in March, I had made it my goal to train to be ready to run this race in only 9 short weeks.  I did it!  In those weeks I went from running 4 miles to running 13.1 whole miles without dying, quitting or even walking!  What an accomplishment for me!!

The race started at 7:30 which meant a very early wake up call!  We were out the door by 6:30 and anxiously awaiting the gun by 7:00.  Dave and I decided that we would run separtely (I didnt want to hold him back & honestly he messes up my whole pace).  My friend, Mary was also running and I planned to stick with her for much of the race.

As the race started I was with Mary but soon realized that I was better off running alone.  So I took off and set my own pace-which was under 10 minutes for the first 5 miles.  After that I slowed down to about a 10:30 minute mile which isn't bad at all!  I felt good most of the race and never once felt like I should walk! 

I finished my 13.1 miles in 2 hours14 minutes!  Awesome!  My goal was 2:30 so I beat that by a lot!  I felt great and so very proud of myself!!

I look forward to running another half in September!!
