So...I decided in February to attempt a half marathon and signed up for the Run Like A Diva half in Myrtle Beach, CA.

My main goal was to finish without getting picked up by the gimp van (if you aren't able to finish in 3:30:00)...I completed it in 2:47:27 (with water/bathroom breaks included)!!!!

I hurt...but am proud of myself, and fully enjoying the rest of my RUMDAY. Ooops, I mean, Sunday!

    Congratulations. Great accomplishment and you wore a tutu also. :-)

    I did the Run Like a Diva in San Francisco and regret not wearing a tutu.

    I might take a break for a week or two :) but I WILL continue running...it is all I have been doing since February and the main reason (along with tracking my food) for losing almost 22 pounds! I think I'll scale back to some 5/10Ks for a bit and hit another half in the fall

    Good luck! Don't let your mind get in the way...I hit a wall around 10.5 and was having a hard time shaking it. I loved that there were so many people out there just to cheer us along
