Foot Traffic Flat Half

Yup, my Mr. did it again! Andrew has been working his tail off in school, but he really wanted to run this half marathon. I think when he signed up in January/February he had a goal to beat his time from 2 years ago.....but then life became crazy beyond belief and his ability to train was almost non-existent. I was so proud of him for sticking to it and running the race despite his lack of preparation. We were all there waiting for him as he came across the finish line. He didn't finish in the time that he wanted, but he did finish! By the time race day came around his goal had changed into just being able to finish;) I can't recall what his actual official time was, but it was under 2 hours.
13.2 miles is a loooooong way to run and I am so impressed with people who can do it. In fact, as I was watching all of those people run across the finish line I started to get excited. I think I can run a race! NOT a half marathon, but I am going to train for a 10K;) I know that I can run a 5K, but I have never run 6 miles before. I have always said that I would never run because I hate it, but even though I hate it I am beginning to accept that it is the only thing that will help me get back in shape.
