SoJo Half Marathon


Back in October, I got this crazy idea to sign up to run a half marathon with my two of my bestest friends, Emily and Ariane, my brother Shane and my sister in law Emily.  I went into the race with absolutely no expectations other than to finish the race.  I did a 15K just a month earlier and survived.  I ran two long runs in between that race and this race, so I thought "hey, why not?"  Little did I know that 13.1 miles is FOREVER long!!!     

Starting Line

Ariane
Finishing time 2:02:04

Emily
Finishing time 2:04:48

Shane and Em
Finishing time 2:06:39

The Caboose
But hey I survived another race!!!
Finishing time 2:17:58


I did it!  I cried crossing the finish line.  I was so emotional!  I was the last in the group to finish but I didn't care at all.  All I kept thinking was I just ran a half marathon and I didn't die:)  Not sure if I will ever run another one, but I did it this time! Now I just need to figure out how to get this skinny again... hmmm
