Half Marathon Pictures

Before the run. We had no clue what we were getting into! We thought we were cool for wearing the shirts that they gave us, but apparently you are not supposed to because NO ONE else had them on. Funny, funny. It was really cold!

My mom and my daughter were waiting for us on the greenway (a really nice part of the run). I decided to hurry and give my daughter a kiss as we passed them. This is a picture my mom took of us as we came to say a very brief hi.

We are finishing! I just remember feeling so awesome because I finished this great goal I had. I actually finished a goal that I had! You see, I have not accomplished many great things in my life (besides marrying someone wonderful, and having a beautiful baby!), so this was quite something. My mom said I had a very tense look on my face at this moment. I know I did. I was just so excited to finish, and I felt like I just kicked that race in the butt!

After the run on Saturday I felt so good for accomplishing this goal. I wasn't even that sore or tired afterwards, thanks to my training. We were all very well prepared for this run. And the best part is that I ran the ENTIRE way, no walking up hills, of which there was a lot. I think that we chose a pretty hard race, without even realizing it, but it was well worth it. Not only can I say that I finished a half marathon, but that I conquered the hills of Mount Airy, NC. Loved it! Now I feel like I need to do something else. I did some research yesterday. I am really probably going to look into doing this triathlon thing. Another goal for me to accomplish! Yes!!! I am really feeling on top of the world right now!
