not a lacey finish

i did it! i actually did it. i ran (well @ the end shuffled) a 1/2 marathon ... 13.1 miles to be exact.


wow! that's all i can say about that. wow! what a great accomplishment & now i think i might be addicted. i'm totally ready for next year's race; however, that's a whole year away, so in the meantime i am finding many races to run in. possibly the omaha 1/2 marathon, but we'll see.


so if you ever think for one minute you can't do something &/or you're not a runner. you are! believe me as i was honestly never a long-distance runner. just a sprinter. i could run the bases in softball in no time flat (in my younger years of course), but catching me running longer than a mile was obsolete, so on that note. anybody can run 13.1 miles if i can. i promise.

i remember looking back after i crossed the finish line on the 50-yard line of Go Big Red stadium & this is what i saw. a HUGE stadium with a beautiful blue sky. what a so-real image.

these great nike tenny runners helped me succeed a very amazing accomplishment.

30 & flirty never felt so good!

maybe next year i'll break out some ruffles & lace to accompany the tennies.
