On Saturday I ran my first (and maybe only, we'll have to see) half marathon. Some friends of mine convinced me that it would be fun. Well, I wouldn't go right to fun in describing my feelings after the race, but I am glad that I did it.

I was the last of all of us to cross the finish line, so everyone was there to cheer me on, including Ben and the kids. I was really glad that Ben and the kids came out to Mesa to see me finish the race.
The kids were glad too, as while I was running they had a kids zone where they got to climb rock walls, jump in a bouncy house and do other fun activities.

Overall it was a good activity, except for the part where I came home and puked my guts out (I will not post a picture of that). Apparently my body does not like eating anything after running that long, even sliced oranges and apples. Oh well, I guess I learned my lesson if there is ever a next time.

WOW!!!! WAY TO GO. More power to you. I know I will never try the half-marathon. Glad the kids had fun. Love Mom, and Dad agrees.
CONGRATS!!! I am WAY impressed! Glad you made it home before the apples and oranges resurfaced. :)
AMAZING!! People who run for "fun" amaze me. You did it!! You have inspired me, not to run but maybe to bike or something!! Great job!
