13.1

Okay so better late than never. here are some pics from my first Half marathon .

Before the race with Yarrow, and Hillary, Friends from Grade school I trained with.

I was very happy with my first Half Marathon, here is a Mile by Mile.



Mile 1-4 To start it was cold in the morning, so for the first four miles I was more concerned about my freezing hands than my legs. every time I saw someone with gloves I wanted to rip them off their hands.




Mile 5- family is a the side of the road cheering me on.


During the race at about mile five

Mile 6- there is family again.



Mile 7 - catch up with Hillary, a girl I went to grade school with and have run with in training.



Mile 9- Hillary not keeping up, pass her up as we go into Boulevard park.



Mile 11- Up Taylor dock. that incline has usually been a the beginning of training, not at the end. too Run up it was very grueling, but was able to do it.



Mile 12- see Grandma and Granpa in condo and start waving like a crazy lady. They see me and rush out on the deck and cheer me on.



Mile 12.5- Okay doing good, Josh Groban's "Don't Give Up" comes on I-pod. I am elated that all the hours I spent on this playlist have turned out well and this song comes on right toward the end.



Mile 13- Almost there start sprinting



Mile 13.1 - finished in 2hours 35 minutes. My ultimate goal was 2:30 so I was pretty happy with my results!!

After the race with my finisher Medal!!!!
