The Little Things
May 5, 2012

After weeks of preparation and battling through a nasty bout of shin splints, this morning I ran my first half marathon! I was worried that, with my lack of training and the heat and humidity (at least 91%), I would struggle, but I had a great time running and finished under 3 hours. Although I didn’t have a goal time for the race, once I realized I could do it under 3 I pushed until the end and finished under the 3 hour mark!

SO HAPPY. And Sweaty. It was hot. And fun.

I’ll do a recap of the race soon, but I wanted to let you know that i finished my first half marathon! YAY:)
