WOW! Yesterday I ran my very first 1/2 marathon! It felt amazing to cross that finish line. It was hard work getting there, but I finished in 2:57, one minute behind my sister. That was also the fastest time we had ran so far. Woohoo go us! Now I'm not much of a runner, so this was very difficult for me and I don't think I ever get that runner's high they talk about, becuase I am always ready to stop, but I did enjoy the race very much and would like to do another one someday! (I can't believe that I am saying that!) We had a great time and I am soooooo glad that our family can out to support us! It was so nice having someone you knew cheering you on. Today I am not as sore as I thought I would be; my knee is a little sore, but that's ok because it just got me through 13.1 miles! I am so excited and proud of myself. Here are some pics after we finished the race. Enjoy! (No word from peace corps yet, hopefully soon!)
