This weekend I completed my first half marathon and I didn't die. I have always wanted to accomplish this and it feels really good to have done it. I went in with an idea of about how fast I could complete the race and I ended up doing better than I thought, which is always nice. I finished in 2 hours and 4 minutes, which is under 10 minute miles.
The winner finished in 1 hour and 6 minutes.....a mere 5 minute mile or so.....maybe next time?....probably not ever! I am sure the winner did not have a sister jump into the race twice and run with them just to show their support and love. And I am also sure they did not have a lovely friend bring them a bagel at the finish line! I am a blessed girl indeed.
I was excited about my time and all-in-all I felt pretty good. I did, however, after I finished, ask myself, "Do I really want to do that twice?" The training for the full marathon begins promptly...as in, I shouldn't let myself lose the ground I have already worked hard to get to, but seriously.....double 13.1? I should probably put off thinking about that for at least a week and enjoy the current feeling of accomplishment.

About Me
- A.J.
- "He was in the world, and the world was made through Him and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and they did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them he gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." John 1:9-14
