SO......Somewhere about 11 weeks ago....I got the crazy hair to try to run a half marathon again! TMC was sponsoring the event.....so I decided to do it. Ya. Of course the weekly runs were no fun, and I kept asking myself "why?" Well, last Sunday came and went and I ran......after a week of not feeling well, going out of town, missing runs, I thought I was in big trouble. However, I made it! It's not pretty....as you see, but I made it!!!
I ran a half in Dec 2006....wait, 05 maybe....can't remember. I finished it in 2:21, so this race I shaved off 10 minutes. Which, for me is awesome! I think I wanna do it again. then maybe again.
About 3 miles in....I kinda hooked myself onto these two older ladies who seemed to have a good pace. I kept up for maybe.....4-5 miles, and then had to drop back a bit. The first race I ran with my friend Nikki and her husband Kenny. So the time went fast....and they pushed me. This time it was all me.....Me and the IPOD! Could NOT have made it without it. Good times. The first picture I swear is me taking the biggest breath of relief. The last mile was horrible! My shoulders felt like bricks I was so tense, and blisters were appearing on my toes. I think the bottom one was the last 3 miles stretch....just begging my mind to keep going.
It was awesome! I'm def doing that again!

Wow, that's impressive! Way to go on the marathon! Hey by the way, we did find a new home for our new dog. I wondered if anyone would notice! He was nuts and I think our old-men dogs were glad to see him go! :)

What a woman! You are amazing! I am going to do a 10k in a couple of months and I don't know if I can make it! You are great!
You always were way better at the whole running thing than anyone else! I've thought about running a 1/2 and then decided maybe next year. Hey I gather that you're moving to Idaho, if you're ever up here in the valley it'd be fun to see you before you move!
Wow way to go Alisha! I am so impressed! I had that same idea awhile ago. Then didn't do anything about it. Hmmmm.....
