I did it!

I ran my first 1/2 Marathon last weekend!  I'm so proud.  I've been training since September.  I'm pretty slow, but I've improved so much over the last few months.  This was the 3M 1/2 Marathon and I signed up to run the Austin 1/2 Marathon on February 15th.  Scott came out to support me.  He dropped me off at the start, and then I saw him at mile 4, 7 and 11 and then at the finish (13.1 miles).  It was a beautiful day, just perfect for running.  It was sunny and cold, 36 degrees at the start and 42 at the finish.  Awesome!  

At home before the race
At the start, I have my number on.
Mile 4.  I have my gloves in hand to give to Scott.  It was so helpful to have him along the course to drop off the stuff I didn't need anymore.
Mile 7...  Still smiling!
