I got hooked on running and just finished my first Half Marathon!!! Actually 13.5 miles to be exact. Not going to lie -- it wasn't easy, it was very hard!!!
-
I usually don't like posts with out pictures -- but sorry, no pictures yet.
-
Started up at the draper temple -- Yes I said up -- way up on the mountain. All the way down under the freeway and back up to Oquirrh Mtn Temple. And, yes I said back up!
-
I had nervous doubts and concerns for running, but I did it anyway and now I fell great. (except for the sick to stomach feeling) At mile 12 -- I have a few tears when I looked back and saw how far I have come!
-
I finished in 2 hrs 33 min. About a 11:33 minute mile. I didn't finish last and that is great b/c there was on 17 people.

So for all of those who read my blog at all --- want you to know. Running isn't fun, but there is so much reward for doing it. .....
- Accomplishing a big goal
- I am the most fit I have ever been
- My heart and lungs are healthy
