"I don't go all the way."

13.1 miles. I completed my first half marathon 2 hours 37 minutes. It's amazing what you can do if you set your mind to it. I think having my ipod nano helped. I remember Will Smith at the kick off, Rage Against the Machine at Mile 5, Fergie at Mile 8, and Indigo Girls as I crossed... At that point I was suppose to be doing my cool down walk but didn't quite keep the pace I thought. LOL. It was so much fun and to the person who at mile 12 said to me "you are doing awesome" thanks for that push that seriously helped. Liv and I waited in line for after-the-run snacks and some camera lady shoved a camera in our faces and asked what hurt we both smiled and said we felt great. She pulled the camera away and said we were lying. Lady we both woke up at 5am and just ran 13.1 miles... You really don't want us to go all www smack down on you do you? sighs... anyway.. that day was spent refueling and just relaxing... not so much sore until the very next day when you try to walk down stairs ouch ouch and ouch... but the line of the day was when Olivia said if someone was chasing her right now she wouldn't even be able to run away. it was funny. it was sad but most of all it was true.
