My First Half Marathon!

Today was a very special day for me!

I never wanted to run a half marathon before but while spending Christmas Night

with some girlfriends we decided to give a try and I got very excited about it.

My first reason was to help me to loose the last pounds of pregnancy weight

and also to be healthy and active for my kids.

I want to live to 100 and I know that I need to challenge my body 

and keep it going.

Here I am before the race and thinking:

let's just start this thing :)

I finished in 2hr 22m, I did great with my time on the road but running on the

beach was harder than I anticipated...

Having fun shopping in downtown and eating on JJ's Pizza place after the race.

I spent some time on the pool and in the jacuzzi

but still felt pretty sore :)

Happy: with my body! I always complain about it, something is too small, another thing is to big, I don't fit on this, I don't like that, etc...but today I am really happy with my body. I know I had four kids and I am getting older with the years but I was pretty proud of myself. My body obeyed me and helped me to cross the finish line.
My dad was right after all, "the sky is my limit". Now I have plans to skydive for my birthday and run the world famous Honolulu Full Marathon in December.
