This weekend I achieved a new goal…I finished my first 1/2 marathon! 12 weeks ago my good friend Abby inspired me (she ran Grandma’s marathon!) and I started a training schedule that got me to Saturday’s goal…13.1 miles. Now I know that it’s only a half and not the whole 26.2 but I’m feeling pretty good about it and most of all am glad that my kids can see me striving to be healthy…a goal that I do better at some times and not as at good others. Not sure if I’ll ever choose to tackle this goal again but I’m definitely glad that I did this time…even if I am still hobbling around like I’m 80 =)
And the stats for those of you interested:
Final Time – 2:05:25
Mile Pace – 9:35
Finishing Place (for females) – 190/487
Overall Finishing place – 548/962
YEAHHHHHHHH SARAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to go, friend. 🙂
Way to go Sarah! You’re my hero! 😉
Nice work, sister!! You didn’t tell me your finishing place – you did fantastic to finish well into the top half! (That is so many people running, though – goodness…I didn’t know there were that many crazy people around MN :))
Way to go!! I’m so proud of you!!!
You are one persistent daughter. Mom and I are very proud of you.
