What have I been up to?

That's a good question! Thanks for asking. I haven't updated this blog since September, but a lot has changed since then. The current goal is to run a 1/2 marathon every month this year. We're already into May so how am I doing?
  • January was the Walt Disney World 1/2. I finished 3:37
  • February was the Disney Princess. I made it around 11 miles. I had bad blisters starting at mile 8. I was tending to them at mile 10, but the sag wagon was quickly approaching and I had to either run or get on the bus so I got on the bus.
  • March was the Corporate Cup 1/2 in Charlotte. I didn't realize that race was primarily a 5k so only 3 walkers were doing the 1/2. This meant all the water stops had been taken down and I was just provided a map to help me finish the course. At mile 10 I asked for a ride home since I was also moving that day.
  • April I was going through a tough time and didn't start.
  • That leaves us at May. I ran the Lincoln, NE National Guard 1/2. I finished in 3:25 which is 12 minutes faster than January and best of all I finished!!!
