Austin Half Marathon






I usually reserve my running info for my running blog. I will just say that today I ran my first half marathon. This is a goal I have had for close to a year now and it has now been accomplished. It was an awesome experience and I cannot wait to do it again. It was kinda last minute so I didn't really have a chance to be nervous. I have been training to run one in April but a friend of a friend had to drop out and offered me her bib. The girl I ran it with is a friend from high school that I haven't seen in probably 10 years! We had a great time and we really helped each other through it. For those non-runners, a half marathon is 13.1 miles. I ran it in it in 2 hours and 40 minutes, not too bad for my first. If you want more information on the actual run you can click the link to my running blog on my list of blogs.
