I ran my first Half Marathon this past weekend in Seeley Lake Montana. It is a race that is always ran on the last Saturday of February. If you are familiar with Montana at all, that could be very scary. BUT the weather was amazing, in fact it was unseasonably WARM! I ran in a running sweat shirt, under armour shirt and I was roasting. It was an amazing setting, the course is around Seeley Lake, it was beautiful. To summarize the day in one word...it was amazing!
I wanted to (one could say my goal) was to run the race in 2 hours....and I almost did it. I ran it in 2:09:07. I was so please with myself. I totally have the running bug and can't wait to run another one. If you ever have a desire to run one, I have the most amazing training schedule. I am not a runner and still don't consider myself a "runner". I'm just a 30-something mom, professional, wife and lady....that needs another hobby. :-) Once you have experienced the thrill of finishing a race whether it be 3k, 5k, 10k or Half------you just have the "bug".......it is some kind-a thrill. Maybe I'm an adrenaline junky that is just too chicken to jump out of planes or from high buildings. :-)
Can't think of anything better I would like to write about than becoming part of the Half club.......for the 100th post.
Enjoy and enjoy the pics.......remember I just 13.1 miles
