Here I am, after hours of non-stop running. I did it. I ran a half-marathon. The time isn't important. Let's just say that I started slow so I have room for improvement for the next one. HA!
I ran the race with 2 great friends. Jean and Stacy. They finished before me.. and we did another finish line photo together. It was sooo great to be able to do it with them. They really motivated me and kept me going!
It was SO wonderful to be done. I wasn't so proud of myself that I had actually done it, but more that I took the time for myself to train and prepare myself to run. The prep work is the hardest part in my opinion. I'm also proud of myself that I ran the whole time, which was my main goal. There were times where I was another foot away from walking but I kept going. Just keep swimming..just keep swimming.. It was hard to be passed by just about everyone.. especially shirtless hairy old men, but I finished. That's what matters.
Friends! What an amazing experience. Have I run since? No.. but I will get back to it.
