I completed my first ever half marathon yesterday!!! It started out as a great morning - it was around 55 degrees out and there wasn't too much wind. Then as the race went on the wind picked up and it started to drizzle, also causing the temperature to drop. I have been recovering from a minor stress fracture in my hip for the past three weeks so I was very nervous to see how this would all go down yesterday but I didn't feel any pain in my hip. I felt pain every where else though! :P I finished the half-marathon in 2 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds!!!! I had my parents and my boyfriend, Wayne, cheering me on at the finish line! It felt so good to complete that task and I am extremely proud of myself. My mom has started to express an interest in maybe running the ING next year - who knows maybe she will do the half and I will do the full! (don't really think I am ready for that) I did end up walking probably about half of the half-marathon just because I didn't want to push myself to my extreme and cause further injury to my body. I am glad that I can now say that I am a distance runner and I look forward to running another half in the future! :)
