Half Marathon-2:32:?

I ran a half marathon today and thought I would share my photos with all! The morning was a little cold and by the time we started I was ready to run simply to warm up. I held pace with a brother and sister duo for the first 7 miles of the race. They chatted and kept me entertained for that time. They were a lot of fun! I then kept pace with another girl for the remainder of the race and we finished together. She pushed me to do a victory sprint at the end of the race and I am very grateful to her for that! At 4 miles to go, my calves started to cramp but I thought, "I've made it this far, I'll run through it because I'm not stopping now!" 3 miles to go, I thought , "6 months ago I ran on the treadmill, thinking '3 more minutes, 3 more minutes.....now I'm chanting 3 more miles." The last mile I was getting excited for the finish and at the top of the last hill, there was my family. Jill ran ahead of the last leg of my journey and encouraged me to do a victory sprint. Thanks Jill for all of your encouragement and help stretching after it was over!! Next year, we'll be running it together!! Woot, Woot!! Great job to the organizers, great race!!
