Well, I don't have pictures yet, but my awesome friend Tara did stick around the finish line and get some.
I don't really know how to word this post. Part of me is really excited that I finished the race, didn't throw my guts all over the place, and didn't end up with any long term injuries. The other part of me is sad that I got a cramp that went from my glutes to the back of my knee for the last few miles and so I ran it about 30 minutes slower than I planned on AND I have a wonderful running partner who waited for me, but could have taken off and done a smashing job, but she didn't. So, I have very mixed emotions about this race. I keep wondering if I'd do better if I did it again, but also feel good that it is something I accomplished because I never in a MILLION YEARS thought I would even try to do something like that. I suppose I could "what-if" for weeks, but since I can't change it, I should move forward and enjoy that I made it...all 13.1 miles, in less than 3 hours.

Congrats
Wait...you did it in LESS than THREE HOURS????
Holy cow. If I had a hat on, I'd take it off to you.
I did, but just barely. It was like 2 hours and 53 minutes.
Ok....so I do 4 miles in ONE HOUR - so I'd be looking at 3 1/2 hours or more....Yikers, woman! You're amazing! Did you use any specific training programme?
Well, yes and no. My friend who has run both marathons and halves did type up a schedule specifically for me. Unfortunately (but yay at the same time!) I went on vacation in the middle of it and didn't do as many miles prior as I should have.
