First Half Marathon!

I DID IT! 

First Half Marathon---------Complete!

What an amazing experience! Before I ran this race I said I just wanted to do one, and I would be good. Well, I want to do more. It truly is kind of addicting! So fun too! It really pushed me to my limits, but how rewarding it was to cross that finish line. 

My goal was to run 13.1 miles in under 2 hours 15 minutes....

Well as you see here I definitely beat that!

Knowley with my medal! (July 28, 2012)



SO PROUD!
I am really looking forward to the next half marathon! Not sure when that will be, still deciding on the perfect race. 

ALL the hard work paid off! After all the hours of running and time being spent away from my family to work on myself was SO WORTH IT! Us women need to remember ourselves when we are raising our children, our health is just as important as theirs. It is not easy, but we can do it! I continue to run 3 days a week and also try to throw in a couple swims too if I can! You will feel SO much better if you love yourself, for me, I needed to lose that baby weight to feel good about me. Which I did + more! 

I think I can say I am a "RUNNER" now. 

I mean look at me with my fancy GPS watch??
