First Half Marathon

Sorry it has taken so long for me to post some pics from the race. I forgot my camera so I had to wait to get some pictures off of my teammate's Facebook page. The race went great and was so much fun! I was able to meet my goal of jogging the whole way without stopping to walk. I finished in just under 2 hours and 45 minutes, so not fast at all, but I was happy with it. Here are a few pics:

The Start Line! It took over 30 minutes to reach it from my starting gate.

I ran in honor of my sister Debbie and our honored teammate Al, and in memory of my teammate's son Ben

Had to get a picture with Elvis

My teammate Ann - notice she also wrote my sister's name on her visor

Somewhere during mile 13 - almost done!

Showing off our medals (everybody gets one!)

Proof I really did it!!!

 I am planning on signing up for other races in the future. At this point, I don't have any plans of trying to tackle a marathon - half was perfect for me! My next event is the Army 10-miler in October.

I want to say thank you again for all the support and generosity. The National Capital Area Fall Team in Training team has raised over a million dollars towards life saving research and patient services! Thank you for being a part of it! Go Team!
