I had a goal this year to be able to run a half marathon. So some friends and I started training in January. We signed up for a half marathon hoping just to finish. Let's just say that we started out pretty pathetic and ended up getting better as we went. For the past few months my goal was to finish the 13.1 miles under 3 hours. So we headed down to Myrtle Beach, SC this past weekend and had a total girl weekend without the kids and had a great time watching a high heel race (minimum of 2 3/4 inch heels) and shopping until our legs couldn't take it any longer (Well, really we had to wake up early the next morning so we just had to stop).
But to my surprise I was able to finish the race in 2:43:43. I had so much fun running, I am hoping to be able to possibly run more races.
Jerry made it in last place!
