Half Marathon

WOOHOO I DID IT!!! I ran a half marathon today in Holland Michigan (13.1 miles) and I didn't stop or fall over :) My mom brought Tray for me and he was the cutest ever in his little warm-up outfit with a shirt underneath that said "property of mom". No offense to him but he was the reason I ran it since your body is just never the same after kids and I needed to do something rewarding for myself. I'm so happy I did it even though I wasn't prepared for all the hills. I will remember that the next time when the website says the course is "pretty flat" that it really means lots of little hills with only 2 big hills. So I am a little soar but I trained hard so I feel great. Ray ran a 5k for breast cancer this morning too and did really well and came over to cheer me on when she was done. Here are some pics.... Of course most of them are of T.C. but a few of me running. I was so excited at the end that I did a crazy jump on the clock strip. There is a picture of me and another coaches wife, Heidi, she is the one that asked me to run it with her.

Oh and I made it in 2:24:13. I wasn't going for time and I just wanted to finish but I had an idea of how long it would take me if I kept my pace the whole time and I was only a few minutes off so I was pretty proud.

Now if I could only get Bobo to nap so I can lay down for a bit....... hmmmm
