i did it!!

i'm exhausted and very sore, but i just finished my first half marathon! the chicago distance classic... i walked the whole way b/c i haven't been cleared to run yet, but i did meet my walking goal. i finished in 3 hrs and 15 mins (15 min miles!) which included a bathroom break and slowing down to drink water. i found out quickly that if you tried to keep pace and drink water, it would just go down the front of your shirt and not in your mouth. in any case, i did it!!


my medal! turn your head sideways...i still don't know how to turn pictures around!
