Half-marathon

So this is long overdue, but Philip and I decided to run a half-marathon last February.  We accomplished our goal last July!  We chose the Timp half marathon because it is mainly downhill.  We knew that this was not going to be easy on the joints, but I really did not expect the amount of pain in my hip flexors towards the end!  I ran much faster than when I trained, the adrenaline was pumping almost the whole way.  It was such an amazing experience.  I cried at the finish line--I never thought I could accomplish something like that.  Philip was awesome.  I am proud of both of us!  I admit my momentum has dropped a bit since the race, but I plan to get back into it and train for another one.  Maybe someday...a marathon??
