I finished!!

Seeing the finish line and hoping to make a last ditch effort to get a good time.

My running buddy Steph. So glad she was there to help me!

Two very hot babes!

So today was the big Hurricane Half Marathon day. I was a little nervous because I haven't really been training all that hard. Also I was worried that the wind was going to blow like it did last weekend while I was running part of the course. I had to work on Fri night and so I didn't get to bed unitl 11! I woke up at 4:30 and was at the race by a little after 5. The buses loaded at 5:30 and the race was supposed to start at 6:30 but I think it started a little late. I started out running with Stephanie from work, she ran ahead of me a hundred or so yards until the top of the hill at the last water station and I yelled at her to wait for me. I'm glad she did or I don't think I would have made it as fast as I did. The last few miles were pretty hard and my legs were gettting really tired. I just wanted to finish the race in under two and a half hours and when I crossed the finish line I looked at the clock and it said 1:57! I was really excited because that is ten minutes faster then my fastest half marathon and I didn't train all that well. Josh, the kids and my sister Gentry were there at the end to cheer me on. Keith and Tonya and Steph's Josh and my friend Ashley were also there. I'm glad I did it but I am glad it's over. Now I have to train that much more and a lot better so I can make it through the marathon in Oct!
