I did it...Mission accomplished

I completed my first half in 2:58.  I did it because I can.  It was one of the hardest things I have every done I won't lie.  It was physically and emotionally draining but it was so worth it in the end.  My mom and Lee and the kids were all there.  I am so grateful that I didn't back out.  Goal for next one is not to stop running to walk.  I know it will be hard but I want to run the whole 13.1 miles.  I threw up right after crossing the finish line so I didn't get my medal like normal people.  I am sore today but I learned a ton for next time.  I need to take training more seriously and need to drink more the whole week before.  I need to get more then five hours of sleep the night before and eat healthier right before as well.  But I did it and it was pretty and it wasn't easy but I did it. 

I am so glad I had somebody running with me.  Made it go faster and she was a huge motivator. 

Next one is in April. 

Final Run

I did my final run before the race on Saturday.  It was good although short.  I am excited and over whelmed and confident.    Here goes nothing...

I jumped...

I was instant messanging Lee today at working discussing if I should register for the half marathon.  He said "do or die"  "What if I die?"  "Carpe Diem" was the response.  So I jumped and registered before I could talk myself out of it again.  I am scared and confident all at the same time.  I ran ten miles a week ago and although it was slow I did it.  I know I can do 13 miles.  I am strong enough and healthy enough and I can do this.  13 days...

Today was the last day of my second round of 21 day fix.  I am going to do one more round just so I can get through the race.  I am feeling healthier then I have in a while.  Life is good.
