13.1

I apparently missed these photos when I was doing October. I have no idea how I could forget them. October 19 was a big day! 

Back in August, I apparently was feeling a little crazy and I signed me and Kelly up for a Half Marathon. As I had said before, I have never been a long distance runner. Not only would 13.1 be challenge for me, but the challenge would be even bigger as I would be running the race pregnant! The thought crossed my mind many many times to back out, but I was worried that if I didn't do it now.....it would be years before I would try again, if ever. And I really, really, wanted to see if I could do it. 

It wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't have morning sickness! The training plan I was on had me running 4 time a week. With morning sickness and working a lot, I was lucky if I got 2 runs in a week. I always tried to do my long run on Sundays.  

The important part - I finished. I am still surprised I did it. Ha! This was a big goal/accomplishment for me. I had about the time I thought I would, based on my training. I really want to do it again someday when I am feeling good. The first half of the race I was not feeling good at all and kept making Kelly stop to walk with me. But I kept going and we made it. I would never had made it without Kelly and Cathy Jo running with me! Still need to get myself one of those stickers for my car (Ryan thinks I'm crazy) Ha!
