On August 16, 2008, I ran my very first half marathon. My sis, Emily ran it with me (and now, we know that she was pregnant at the time!). Inspired at her full marathon race in Chicago a couple of years before, I decided to give it a go. 12 weeks of training on hot summer nights paid off in the 60 degree Chicago lakefront weather we had that morning at 6:30 a.m. Yes, I'm late in posting this but wanted to show the real race photos that they take of you. Beautiful day and I don't think I could have done it without Emily. Thanks for your inspiration to set a goal and reach it!!
We now plan (along with my cousin, Elizabeth) to run the Nike Women's Half Marathon in Oct. 2009. Can't wait! Especially since we are gonna head to Napa afterwards!
Run, sis, run! 13.1
