The FINISH line! There has never been a greater sight! All 13.1 miles are behind me! And yes, that point 1 certainly does count!!!!
I completed my FIRST half marathon on August 17th, 2008! My run time was 2 hours and 7 minutes and I placed 22nd out of 65 in my age category and 168th out of 440 women runners. I am very happy with my results and I think I'll be basking in the glory of this accomplishment for quite some time!!
Not only was I proud of my accomplishment, but I had a very proud husband!
Seeing Scott and the boys made crossing the finish line that much sweeter!!!!!
The boys especially liked my "Golden Medal".
My dear friend, Sherry, came out to cheer us on. She hugged me so hard (bless her heart), that I almost barfed.
Dwight, Mary, Mike and I pose for a "Finishers" picture! We all experienced our own success that day and each of us were so proud of the other. What a great experience and even greater to have friends to share it with. Congratulations everyone!!
