13.1 miles. i never even dreamed i'd one day be able to say i ran a half marathon! i'm so proud that i did it! i'm so thankful for dave and his support and encouragement. he's a keeper! and my running partner, we were a good team! i couldn't have done it without her either! Mostly, I am thankful for Grace through Him. His Goodness. His Strength. His enduring and everlasting Love!  The last four miles were the toughest! I'm just so happy to be done!!!

I was hoping to come in a lil faster and closer to a 9min avg/since we've been running around 9min avg pace for our long runs but at this point i'm just glad i survived it!!! I still can't believe a year ago was the first time i ever ran more than a mile! who would have thought swimmer/all/the/way girl would turn runner? def. not me!!

Wahoo! Up next?....a 5k with hubby!
