After running my first half marathon in April, I decided to take a little break and reevaluate my training plans. One of the big changes I'm making is that I've decided to wait until next year to do a full marathon, and decided instead to run a couple shorter races this year.
Let's start with how my first half went....
It was fantastic!!!!
It was a frigid 18 degrees on race morning, and I was very nervous, but I bundled up and pushed through.
Greg came to see me off....
....and his folks and niece and nephew came to cheer me on at the end :-)
I finished in 2 hours 10 minutes and 1 second (had to throw that second in there :) haha). I was incredibly pleased with my finishing time, about 20 minutes shorter than my estimate!
<----- that's me :)
So as I mentioned, I'm back to training again, a little less intensely this time though. I'm running my second half marathon on June 15 in Milwaukee, the Summerfest rock 'n sole race:

I'm very excited, and am hoping for some warmer weather than last time :)
Stay tuned!!!
