One down...one to go!

On Saturday the 10th I ran my first half-marathon.
I ran from Nutrioso into town
Let me tell you that it is not fun to run over picnic hill!
I got a few side aches towards the end which slowed me down a little but I still kept running!
I loved it and can't wait for the next one in October!
Mark was out guiding so my parents had Gray
I told them what time to be there but then I ran faster than I ever run
My mom wanted me to pretend I was running through the finish line again
I just stood under it!
I ran it in 1:55:40!
I set a goal for myself and I knew I could do it in 2:05 but I wanted to be safe so I said 2:15
As I was running on Saturday I was moving along and I thought I might do this in less than 2 hours
When I ran into the dome and saw the clock I was pretty excited at my time!
I beat my goal by almost 20 minutes!


There were only about 18 people that ran
I did win first in my age group though!
I loved it!
Call me crazy but I am so excited for the one I am doing in October
I beat my goal already I had set for that race so my new goal is to finish in 1:50!
We will see how I do!
