I DID IT!....
I finally ran a half marathon distance! I am so proud! I knew I could do it but I needed to prove it myself.
I was super tired after I finished and took a freezing cold bath for a half hour but my thighs are super tight and a bit sore.
It was run around my neighborhood in two laps and was recorded by my Garmin. I now feel confident enough to sign up or the Kelly Canyon Half (after all I have now officially completed 13.1 miles straight!) The race is on July 17th. I wont win but I will finish! Anyone care to join me :) The Kelly Canyon Half will be my first official Half.

Overall not bad for my first time. I can definitely see where I walked :) But....I was hoping for about this pace, although I would love to be under 2 hours. With practice I think I can make that Goal!

And so....I FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS!
Total mileage this year: 205.6+13.1=218.7
Congrats! Takes some motivation to run a half on your own, and with nobody cheering you on. You'll do great for the next one!
