YES!


What's better than running a half marathon and beating your personal record which you previously thought impossible? Running that marathon with 6 other amazing women (and one man - can't forget Scott!). Today we ran the See Jane Run Half Marathon. And you should see us run! I was so proud of each of my running friends! We all accomplished our goals. It was great. And I broke my two hour barrier! (My official time was 1:53!!) I didn't think it was possible, but Marianna pushed me to new limits. Someday she's going to do the Boston and I'm going to say I once trained with that great runner. :) Thanks Marianna and to that guy at mile 12 who yelled "Good job 477!" (my bib number) I needed that. And to Devin Yeates for taking this cool picture of me as I'm about to cross the finish line.

I'm really happy for you- congrats!

If you'd be willing to chat about getting started with getting fit, let me know, or tell me who'd be better to talk to. I have no clue.

You are awesome. I am doing my first half June 14 with Kevin and my brother in law. I hope I finish. I was out for 7 weeks with a sore ankle and just got back to running about 3 1/2 weeks ago. That is a great time. We need to do one together sometime--our next college reunion.

I just told my husband that this is my goal for the end of 2008. After I have this baby, I want to run my first Marathon! You are an inspiration! and you look like a pro!
