Since I am the slowest person at updating my blog... here are some pics of the half marathon (13.1 miles) I did 3 weeks ago.
Irvine Half Marathon
Completed in 2 hrs. 9min. (average 9min 54 sec. mile)
And I never stopped running (if running slow counts)
Thanks to my in-laws for coming and taking pictures. It really was a wonderful accomplishment and very emotional for me as I saw the finish line and passed. Josh took some video of it so once I figure out the camera I will put some on! I always thought just 3 miles was a lot, but it really wasn't that hard to build my body up to 13 miles. Really anyone who can run 1 mile can work up to it. I'm ready for my next 1 so anyone interested?
I just passed the finish line, but I think that I am bent over because my legs just tightened up the minute I stopped running.
Josh was so kind to bring me a smoothie. Poor Elle was throwing up the night before and for the next couple of days, but Josh knew how important it was for everyone to be there! Thank you Elle for being a trooper. She's so cute!
