half marathon

I ran my first half marathon yesterday! I learned a lot while training for it and running it. It was a lot of fun. Here are a few of my favorite things:

1. learning how to run the long distances using the run/walk interval method

2. learning that I can do it!

3. having marathon bird do it with me

4. meeting our other friends up there too

5. actually running the race was fun!

6. thinking that I might do this again

7. the goody bag and prizes

8. no limit on the amount of pizza I could eat afterwards!

9. no swimming involved

10. beating the goal time I had set for myself!
