Well, I did it! I completed my first half-marathon last Sunday on the beautiful Outer Banks. It was a glorious day with temperatures in the 50's early and a high of 65 F. My time: 2 hours, 3 minutes, and 10 seconds.There are barely any words to describe the experience. Now a week away, it is hard to believe that it happened. There is really nothing like being surrounded by hundreds of runners--mostly like me--just out there to do it.
I am so glad to have had the experience and especially thankful for my 'fan' club. Buddy, Alena, & Hayley, I can't wait to see the video! Pictures taken by Pete are available at the following link.

Ian and I are planning to run a few short races in the next couple of months and then train for the Charlottesville 10 miler in April. Stay tuned for more running adventures.
P.S. I'm sure if I train with Ian that my speed is almost guaranteed to improve!
