Half Marathon

So it is finally official. Sarah and I have run a half marathon. Yesterday we completed the New Beford Half Marathon on one the last days of Winter. What a way to send off the long cold season that we spent outside training for this very race. It did not rain or snow during the race (which was fore casted), but there were some killer winds by the New Bedford shore line. I finished in 2:01:38, and Sarah in 2:08:38. Both of these times are amazing for us. Looking back, we had not run more then 3.2 miles just over a year ago. The idea of running six miles seemed outrageous. Now we just finished a 13.1 mile race, and have our eyes on the next big goal; 26.2. I will take this moment to feel accomplished and proud to achieve the goal. It does go to show you, all you have to do to reach a goal is put your mind to it. I will spend the rest of today tell everyone I see, whether they care or not what I did this weekend. It feels that good!
