I did it!!

I finished the Nike Women's Half Marathon!! It was awesome and I will definately do it again. Being there with Team in Training was amazing - just when you think you can't go on someone in purple is cheering you on. Complete strangers come and run with you to support you and guide you. Seeing the survivors there on the sidelines and in the race is also awesome - if they can beat cancer then you can finish a race!! My whole experience was amazing- meeting a great new friend (ANNE YOU ROCK!), seeing our honoree's mom on the sidelines cheering is on, walking into a room with 5000 other TNT members, our amazing Mentors and Coaches for guiding us, my dear friend Jennie for doing this race with me and not thinking I was crazy, my husband and son for putting up with all training sessions and fundraisers! To everyone who helped me along the way - THANK YOU!!

Here are a few pics from the event:

On a great note: I am totally addicted to running! I will be doing my next Half Marathon on 11/9/08 here is Fresno. I am also planning to do the Century Ride with TNT next spring - so be ready for some more fundraisers!!
