    Here are some pictures from before and after my race in Sarasota, Florida. I had promised my sisters if they trained for a race I would come run it with them. They did the work so I flew down to Florida and ran with them. It was such an amazing trip.
    Just before getting into the race corral:

    I plan on running another half in August (Dallas Hottest Half). My new goal time is 1:33. After that I want to run a full Marathon. I’ve started a new training program (Hanson’s Marathon Method) where I’ll be running between 50 to 60 miles a week. I’ve finished the first two weeks and absolutely love the program.

    Best of luck to all the new runners out there! Running is a sport that gives back so much and really can be life changing.

    Ryan
