Autumn Colors Half Marathon Buena Vista Co.






Andrea finishing.

Me finishing.

Andrea!

Me running, just 4 miles to go!!!

Yesterday I ran my first half marathon. That is 13.1 miles!!! I did great if I do say so myself, I finished 15 min. faster than I hoped for. My time was 2hours and 52 seconds. My RAD friend Andrea ran it with me and she kicked some serious butt. She got a new PR finishing 10 min faster than her last half marathon, even after battling some barbed wire!
It was a perfect day! The weather was gorgeous, our awesome husbands and kids were the BEST cheerleaders and really helped keep us going. The kids played in the park and then later we went swimming. THANKS GUYS. And thanks Andrea you are the best running friend EVER! Here is to more runs together!
