My First Half Marathon

I was crazy. I know I was. I feel it each time I sign up for a race and I definitely feel it after the race when I can’t move my legs. I signed up to run the Rock n Roll half marathon in DC in mid March. It is one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Part of this is a little bit because I didn’t train as well as I should have, partly because it takes a long time and you have to mentally prepare also. I ran the 13.1 miles in about 2 hours and 15 minutes, despite walking a lot after mile 10 due to knee strains. Here are some pictures from me during and after the race!

One of my friends ran it also so we met up before and after and were able to get a picture together with our medals!

Don’t worry, I signed up to run the Army 10-Miler in October. So I’ll keep running!
