Proud of my 2:19:01

My first half-marathon went really well this morning and was a great experience. I was hoping to finish under 2:30, so I was thrilled with 2:19:01. I was number 10,178 to finish out of 25,062 half-marathoners (big race!). As a normal back-of-the pack runner, it was nice to be in the top half for once.

I'll share what went right, what went wrong, and a full race-report later.

Thanks to everyone who commented to wish me luck.

A few pictures.....

Before the race-- 6:00 a.m. in the rain lovin' my one-size-fits-all poncho (which I ditched at the starting line)

My big finish-- somehow out of 25,000 runners, my hubby managed to catch me going across the finish line.
