So excited to say that yesterday I ran my very first HALF MARATHON!! And I LOVED it!

It was truly one of the best days of my life!! The weather was perfect, the crowd was unbelievable and the fact that started and ended the day with some of my very best friends made it all the better! My friend, Jen, and I stayed together the whole time and actually crossed the finish line together, hands in the air, tears rolling down our faces. Then when we realized that our time was so much better than we thought it would be, we were even more excited! We are not fast runners at all ... and we crossed in 2:31!!

I am so proud of all of my friends who ran and especially of myself, I really never thought I could do it ... and I did!!

The PITTSBURGH MARATHON ROCKS and I can't wait til next year!!!
