Half marathon

On Oct. 30 I ran my very 1st half marathon. Yes, I said 1st. I plan on running one again. I am slightly disappointed with my time but more than half of it was on a trail and I didn't train on trails. So, I probably could have done better if I was more prepared. Anyways, it started at Boulder Beach then it went on the trails that go through the old railroad tunnels. Then it turned around at the Hoover Dam parking garage and you ran back. It was actually a beautiful run. Beautiful views of Lake Mead and the new bridge. My time was 2 hours and 24 mins. Not bad for my 1st half. I just want to say that I never was a "runner" and this is something I never thought I could do. Mainly because of my lack of motivation. Training for a half takes a lot of time. There were a couple days I just wanted to quit but I didn't. I am really proud of myself for sticking with it. And I can honestly say I love running now. I think I am addicted! It feels so good to see and feel yourself getting better. I am also thinking I want to try out a triathlon. We'll see how that goes.

This is the only picture I got of me running. It's right before the finish line.My bestie Megan also ran in it! Here we are after our race.my and my kiddos (who weren't there at the finish line, eh hem)
