Brad and I ran our first half marathon (13.1 miles) in October.  We ran another in December.  We’ve had so much fun running together.  I feel that since I’ve run 2 halves,  I can say I’ve run a marathon! :)  I have so much more respect for anyone that can run 26 miles!

We ran with my sweet friend and inspiration, Ashley Barrett!  She’s WAY faster than I am, but I made it without walking, and that was my goal! (baby steps)

And…WE DID IT!  Our sweet families came out to support us.  It was a wonderful day and I was quite emotional when we crossed the finish line.  They announced our names as we were running in and I was just so thrilled that I finished (and that sweet Brad ran at my pace) that I planted a big “I DID IT!” kiss on him at the finish line!  Maybe one day a marathon…
