I'm a runner?

I did it!! i ran my 1st 1/2 marathon!! all 13.1 miles of it!! i was super excited and nervous to run my first one but now that i have i loved it!! hopefully i will be doing more in the future :) it was supposed to snow/rain the morning of the race but luckily it was nice weather (a little chilly)... then i was greeted at the finish line by my sweet sister-in-law krissy who brought the kids with her to cheer me on :)

There you have it! You set a goal for yourself, work hard to attain that goal, and then go run your booty off and finish the race... now that's what I call perseverence and sticking to it! I'm proud of you and know you had lots of fun! Yippee! xoxo love you, Mom
