After months of training, my friend, Kelley, and I completed the Indy 500 half marathon for a second time. Although it was a cold and very windy day there were still over 35,000 participants. If I'd taken an hour off my time I would have won, but I'm still happy at a 9 min. improvement at 2:01.
Here I'm sporting my medal and am definitely more warm and showered than in the picture above. I'm glad it's over and now can focus on a sprint triathalon this summer. That will be a lot more fun and less stressful. Thanks to my family for all the extra help they gave so I could take my long runs and to my great husband who made breakfast for the boys and did the soccer game rounds for eight Saturdays in a row. I couldn't have done it (nor lost 23 lbs) without your support!

Your fabulous to go on to a triathlon after the halfsie- After the Half I ran in Lancaster, and one more 8 miler with my hubby, I quit running cold turkey.
AND you beat my time by 3 minutes :)
and I misspelled 'you're'....I've been out of school for a while. Can you tell?
