33 Birthday and First 1/2 Marathon!

My first 1/2 results: 2:08:18.8 at a 9:48/M which is a lot faster than I thought I could do 13.1 miles!!! I told Troy I'd be in between 2:15 and 2:30... so 2:08 was GREAT for me and I am very proud of myself. I have surrounded myself with GREAT women that inspire me to push myself to my limits and make me want to do better. It was a great birthday! Everyone should run a race on their birthday! :)


Me when it was all over! And I was so excited and full of energy! Troy, Tenney and the girls met me when it was all over and we were all full of emotion!

Steph made this sign for my back that I ran about 1/2 the race with. It was GREAT to hear "Happy Birthday" over and over as I ran. But when I got hot I didn't have it on my back anymore :( Thanks Steph!


This is Danielle and I - she was a great help in the Sat. morning training! She high-fived me ever time I ran in at the training! She's a great new running friend!


Steph when it was all said and done. She's super fast! And finished 1:42!!! FAST! Idol like! :)


What a great day!
