1/2 Marathon {personal}

I DID IT!! Last weekend I ran 13.1 miles along with many thousands of other fellow runners/walkers. I have been training with a group of amazingly supportive group of people at Southside elementary, and I know I could not have done this without their support and encouragement! Here are some of my TEAM that I trained with this Winter!

I had so many emotions going through my head the months, weeks, days, and even minutes leading up to the race… I felt nervous, because I wondered, could I reach my goal? I felt excited, because I was pretty sure I could! I felt anxious about what the experience would make me feel. I felt emotional, because, well, lets face it, I am emotional about everything!! And last, I felt proud of being able to stay focused and accomplish a goal.

Here is a picture after I crossed the finish line (and before the tornadoes came!)! Thank you for all my family and friends for coming out and supporting me on this day! And a BIG thank you to my husband who listened and comforted me through all the aches, pains, doubts, and excitements throughout the last 16 weeks! You are the best!
