Half marathon!!!!

 I never thought 13.1 miles would feel so good! The Middle Tennessee Half was amazing! All the prayers were answered! I am happy and proud to tell you that I have never been this fit or healthy in my life! It took 6 months, and 6 days a week training to finish my first half marathon in 1 hour and 36 minutes!!!!! I am so thankful to ALL the people who supported me during this adventure! A great running coach, supportive friends, an awesome family helped me achieve this goal! It was a great day, but it took many months to make it happen! Now, where do I run to next?!?
                                         Race time temperature was 41 degrees...brrr!
                                            But I was jumping for joy during mile one!
Lacey and Connie, cheering for myself and Ronnie!
Still wearing long sleeves and gloves at mile 4!
Run Mommy Run!
                                                                Mile 6, warmed up!
                                     Mile 10, still praising HIM for healthy legs!
Mile 13.1,  humbled and greatful for my finish!
Official time 1:46.  Pace 8:05 min/mile!
                                The most supportive (injured) husband ever!
My biggest fans! ( and my motivation for a healthy lifestyle!)
My cheering team, and Uncle Clay too!
