Howdy Y'all! Well I can mark doing a half marathon offa the Bucket List now! I completed 13.1 miles in 2:49:42,a fair bit slower than the 2:30 I was shooting for,but with no more training than I got in prior to the run,I'm happy with it.The best part of it all was that my girl's son decided to do the 2 mile kid's run and we ran the first mile together then she followed him back to the finish.It was rainy and cold the whole run,and the most beautiful sight I saw was them waiting in the rain for me at the finish;that is what kept me going the last 3 miles,knowing they were there,because I really wanted to quit,but quit isn't in my DNA sequence So now I have decided that I think I have a full marathon in me somewhere,but with school starting,it may have to wait a year or two to get out! I did enroll in a Spin Class to get in shape for spring/summer road cycling and will be back in the woods on my mountain bike and back in the pool training for a 5 mile swim attempt this spring! Hope everyone is gettin' 'er done and having fun in the doing! Shad
