I made it!!! 13.1 Miles!!!

I will do a longer post in a day or two, but just wanted to let everyone I made it! I finished in under 3:08:00. I'll know my official time in a couple days when they post it on their website.

I'll post some pictures and my thoughts when I can get to my computer.

Thank you to my wife Tiffany and my parents for being here with me. Also, thank you to all whom had me in their thoughts and prayers!

12.5 Miles - The reality that I can run a Half-Marathon

This past Monday evening, I ran 12.5 miles. At first, it was just another long run. A run completed without stopping or taking any walk breaks. That in and of it's self was amazing. But I just saw it as another long run.

The reality that I can run a Half-Marathon hit me as I was crossed the imaginary finish line of my long run. I was sore. My knees were complaining and my legs felt like jello. But I now know that I can run the Half. The fear or not being able to do it is gone. But I can do it!

I'm going to complete my first Half-Marathon in 14 days!
