Half Marathon!

I ran my third half-marathon today! And to top it off, I got a PR of 1:54:27, a full 4 minutes and 30 seconds faster than last year! There was talk of high humidity during the week, which would not have been good for me. But race day morning it was cool, overcast, and a breeze off the lake. I remember my legs feeling heavy around mile 7, but calmed myself down and felt good. My parents, kids, and sister and her family were at the 11.5 mark, which kept me going!

My Dad found Courtney and I as we were done. She was smart an had packed a change of clothes. The wind and drizzle picked up as time passed.


And then I saw the rest of my family! It meant so much to have them here!!








With Eddy leaving and then rather unexpectedly getting a new job, and having two kids to care for, get the house on the market, and start packing, I wasn't sure how the last few weeks of training would go. I am happy that I have up the gym membership and got a treadmill.

#3 under my belt!!
