Half Marathon!

13 miles for 2013!!!

 I did it! I finally did it!!

I became interested in running a half marathon when we lived in Denver. They had a workout center there and I started running. After Grad School I then got pregnant and had lost it all. But I still had some motivation left in me to try!

 This summer I bought a really cheap (and very quircky) treadmill on craigslist and that got me running again. Finally in January I made up a goal to do the TriCities Half. That way I wouldn't have to travel and it was two months away, I figured it was close enough I could do it and not get distracted. Although I didn't know if my weird treadmill would actually train me all the way up to the big day, I didn't way to pay until knew I could do it. But I did it. I kind of hurt my knee two weeks before, but I toughed though it and completed my goal. And it feels good.

Did I mention it was crazy cold, super windy and at 8 AM?!!!!

 This bottom pic I think is funny. It was right before the finish line and a guy from our ward was running up to me to cheer me on. But he kind of scared me a little!
