my first 1/2 marathon!!!

my 1/2 marathon experience!

pre-race, we didn't sleep well that night.. kept waking each other to check the time!


the views + on-course support was amaziiing. wish i brought my camera, my dad showed up on his bike & snapped this one =)

at first i was 30% concerned about falling behind on training & 70% excited BUT kept reminding myself that it's a blessing to even be able to walk let alone participate in a 13.1 mile event!!   i wouldn't have been able to pull through without chris making me crack up especially in the last 2 miserable, painful, rainy, can't-feel-my-hands and my hair is soaking miles.  he stuck by me through most of the race & crossed the finish line with me even after all his training and it being his bday, whatta keeper.  i am very proud of myself though & would love to do it all over again next year. i will stick with training though b/c these post-race aches are no joke, lol.
