13.1 - Been there, run that!

I did it! I AM a half marathoner! I had a great 'first race', and look forward to doing it again! My goal was to finish under 3 hours. My 'Sweet Goal' was to finish in 2:45.

Official finish time ~ 2:45:04.

Couldn't be more happy with how it all went! The race had ups and downs, but mostly UPS. The downs involved wasting time twice at porta-pottys, and some lung / breathing issues due to almost constant, cold winds off Laker Erie).

Nothing that I couldn't overcome though and I finished strong!

Full race report some time tomorrow! After my MASSAGE that is....

Thanks everyone for cheering me on all this way. I thought of everyone of you while I ran today. (while Shosh was chattering aimlessly ha ha - she was so upbeat and cheerful the whole time, and her energy pulled me onward! SO glad she came to see me across my first finish line!)
