Goals ACCOMPLISHED!!!

Kyle and I participated in our very first half marathon on Sunday!!!! We had 3 goals: 1. to finish the race...check; 2. to run the entire 13.1 miles...CHECK!!; and 3. to finish the whole thing in under 2 and a half hours...CHECK CHECK CHECK!!!!! 2 hours, 24 minutes and 39 seconds was my official finishing time.



The real kicker?? After 2 days with aching knees - but certainly not out of commission by any means, I feel fine today - no more sore than I would feel after a good workout at the gym!

This particular event (the New Orleans Mardi Gras Marathon and half marathon) was the last full marathon my dad did - he was 50. Kyle and I were really excited to make it our first...

Here's to hoping Dad is proud of his kiddos. We miss you so...

xo,
Heather

    Congrats! I am hoping to do a half in October - amazing that you were able to put in the training time with two little ones. Finding the time has been my biggest challenge. Thanks for the inspiration!
