Yesterday I ran my first half marathon. It was so fun! The course was beautiful and wrapped around a lake. Runners were very encouraging to one another. This is the just the beginning for me, I hope! Chris wants to do one in May next year, so that will be great to do one together!
This is a picture with my friends Josh and Liz. They do races like this a lot more often and did a phenomenal job! Josh ran it in 1:43 and Liz in 1:57.
Chris and the boys met me at two points during the course. It was very need family encouragement at those two spots. The first was at mile 9 at the top of a hill and the second was at mile 12. This picture was taken at the latter.
Crossing the finish line! There are two times you are given...one is "gun time" and the other is "chip time". You run with a chip on your leg. Then when you start/finish it records the EXACT time you did the race. My chip time was 2:11:02.
I took these next couple pictures just before bed last night. This is where I got my blisters. My socks had slipped down and my foot was rubbing on the shoe. They are pretty sore today...
This pic was just before I was able to clean it up. You can see the blood, but the blister is just really beginning to form.

Jamie you did awesome! I know I won't be able to run mine in the time you did. Awesome job! What an accomplishment!!
Congratulations - I don't know if I will ever be in that kind of shape. I get winded after a 2 mile run walk.
