13.1

Well, I did it. 13.1 miles. And I ran the entire way, and kept to my pace goal of an under 11 minute mile. I was calm mentally the whole time, and other than my joints feeling very achy the last 2-3 miles, I felt really good. Good enough, that I'm seriously considering doing another 1/2 Marathon Nov. 15th to see if I can easily pick up my pace by 30-45 seconds per mile. I know, I know- I'm a little touched in the head. :-D

Pre-race

I ran past my parents' house 2x- at miles 2 & 9

Mile 9- still feeling good

Finally!

It's over! I did it! 2 hrs., 24 min. & 10 seconds of constant running
