just keep running.....

I did it... After 13 weeks of training, I ran my first half marathon! Yep 13.1 miles. However.... I did not do it in my desired finish time but I can say I finished. And that in itself is a big accomplishment to me.
There are so many emotions actually being there with 30,000 runners that I wasn't prepared for. I was so nervous and almost physically ill. I was so excited and scared all at the same time. When I walked into my corral, I looked in front and as far as I could see there were people and then I turned and looked behind me and there were more people as far as I could see. The energy was overwhelming and intoxicating. Once they said 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.... and we took off, all the nerves went away and it was so fun!... For about 10 miles anyway,... then I started not doing so hot. Oh well. I have already decided that I will be running Oklahoma City. I have proved to myself that I could do it, now I want to improve.
( and I will just say this,... I found no hidden comfort in those socks. they lied. )
