In October, I ran my first 1/2 Marathon! It was awful and awesome at the same time. For a fall Michigan day, the weather was PERFECT. Add the start time of 11am, and the sun was bright, and surprisingly HOT!
Me before the race. I'm only 1/2 crazy!
My cheering section :)
And I'm off! That's me waving and smiling in the hot pink jacket. (I had JUST started, so I was still happy and smiling)
Lauren running next to me in the black hat. She's smiling too :)
The finish line!
I managed to finish under two hours (barely)
I couldn't walk for a week after the race. I'm glad it's over, and off of my bucket list. I haven't ruled out another 1/2 (or full) in the future...
Since my training was over, I had a little extra time on my hands. I finally got to play around with my almost year old camera. We headed off to George George Park and the kids got to posing! We all had a lot of fun!

Congrats for running your first 1/2 marathon! Wow, I don't think I could ever do that!
