I ran my first 1/2 Marathon today. It was great, fun, hard, really hard, painful, exciting, rewarding and did I say really hard?
The first 5 miles felt great. Even mile 6 and 7 were okay. From there on it was a lot of work. I finished in 2:20 min. approximately. My goal was 2:10 - 2:15 min. I walked some of it, not proud of that, but I am very proud that I did it and I finished.
My brother finished in 1 hr. 40 minutes. His goal was 1:30 min. Here's photos of us before the race, we don't have photo's after, but if you can picture me half dead and exhausted then that would be about right.

Miah's new haircut, she begged for it. I was hesitant but, it actually looks really really cute. This picture is taken right after so her hair is still wet.
