At the beginning of 2008, one of my new years resolutions was to run a half marathon...Well, needless to say, the year came and went and I didn't meet that goal...So this year I had to make it happen. Last Saturday, one of my good friends and running partner and I ran in the Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half-marathon...
I started training at the beginning of the summer so I felt ready for the race...It was such a beautiful course and I love the atmosphere of races because there are so many other people who really love to run and are very excited about running 13 miles! Crazy! I felt really, really good the entire race up until about mile 10...Miles 10 and 11 were very hard---I was thankful that Natasha was running by my side, this kept me going..The last mile was a little easier as I knew it was our last! We finished right at 2 hours and 14 minutes.
One week later, my toenails are still bruised, but I am currently looking for another half-marathon to run..possibly the Moab race in March!!
