Whoa! Way past due for a post.

Apparently it's been awhile since I've posted. November 2012 to be exact. Yikes. I'm still running. I ran my first half-marathon this year in April. 2:04:someoddseconds. It was slower than I did in training but I hurt my back 2 weeks prior and my gait all changed and I had ridiculous blisters and part of me was sad but most of me was thrilled that I did it. It was quite the accomplishment for me. I still am pretty proud of myself. It was fun and that runner's high had us wanting to do a full marathon. Well, had my running partner wanting to do a full marathon. I was skeptical and said "I'll do the half and you do a full... I'll help you train" To which she replied "if you're going to train with me, you might as well do the full" She had a point but in my heart I knew I wasn't ready. I was envious that she was but felt confident enough to know I wasn't. Turns out she hurt her foot in the race and hasn't really run much since. She's scaled down to wanting to do the half with me this fall but the way her foot is and our lack of training, she may not even be running the half. I doubt I'll do it alone, the course is 2 hours from us. I guess we shall see.
