NYC Half Marathon

So…  It’s been ages since I’ve posted on here, but I just couldn’t resist after this morning…

I RAN THE NYC HALF MARATHON!!!

so shiny! :)

Yup… I made from start to finish (with some walking in between) in 2:37:23.  After fighting with some nagging knee pain over the past couple months and the general anxiety of the thought of running 13.1 miles, I’m just thrilled.  Thrilled that I finished, that I wasn’t in pain, that I didn’t give up, and that I did something I never in my wildest dreams thought I would a) want to do or b) be able to do. 

It’s been quite a journey since I started Couch to 5k back in July.  A little over 8 months ago I couldn’t run for 2 minutes without getting winded.  Crazy…  

And now it’s time to relax.  Happy St. Patrick’s Day! :)
