WOW!! I had no idea how amazing it would feel to complete my first 1/2 marathon. I know that tens of 100's of 1000's of millions of people have been completing marathons and 1/2 marathons for decades. But this weekend, this 1/2 marathon.... it was all about me!!! And not only did I the 1/2, I COMPLETE it but to complete it in 8 minutes less than my goal. I was hoping to complete it in 2:15:00, which would be just under a 10 minute mile. But I actually completed it in 2:07:11!! I couldn't believe it!! The whole experience, from beginning to end, was unforgettable. I feel such a sense of personal accomplishment. It has been a very long time since I have done something for myself, by myself and with no one in mind but ME!!! And it felt great!! 13.1 miles!! I still can't believe I did it. This time last year I was lucky to run 2 miles!!!
So now with this 1/2 marathon under my belt, I am ready to start beating my own time!! I think I am going to sign up for the Sedona 10K!!! I am so excited!! I am loving it!! Here's to many more races!! Bring it On!!!
