Hey all,

Today I ran my first half marathon. I started running 2 years ago with a walk/run group and had run four 5Ks. I then took some time off running and got back at it 5 months ago.

My goal was to complete this race in under 3 hours and I finished at 2:54:43.

It was a very emotional finish line for me - such sweet victory!!!! :happy:

    It was totally cool to run that race with so many people, and it was a beautiful day on cape cod - sunny and humid!!
