I DID IT!!!!

Well, I can't believe it's here and gone already. Weeks of training, being sick, and sore muscles all for one big day. I was so nervous about getting out there and running 13.1 miles for the first time. I had lots of people praying for me and I am convinced that's what got me through to the finish line. So, thank you for your thoughts and prayers. They were much needed and MUCH appreciated. HE DELIVERED!!! I had two goals for this race:

1. That I would run the whole race.

2. That I would finish in 2.5 hours or less.

I DID run the whole time and my finish time was 2:10:57!! God is SO good!! Here's some pics from the big race.

This is me in line for the port-o-potty before the race. You KNOW I had to go really, REALLY bad to have to use one of these things. Gross.


It was about 35 degrees when I started so the shirt had to stay on til about mile 6. This is me flashin my bib before I'm off!

I'm definitely crying in this picture. I was so excited and so tired and so happy all at the same time. I FINISHED!!
