Running a half marathon has been a goal of mine for a REALLY long time . I have trained twice in the past but had to drop out each time because of sickness-so I have never actually crossed the finish line of a half marathon. Well, yesterday was finally my day. Unfortunately, it was not my training partner's (a.k.a my little sister) day-she got sick this past week and was unable to run it with me. It was a lonely, cold run (it snowed the majority of the race) but I did it and I ran the entire race! Walking today is quite another story though...
...My training partner...
I know these pictures of me are the most beautiful you have ever seen and yes those are hot pink ear muffs, but I had just run 13.1 miles so I don't really care.

Anne, you ROCK! Way to go. And in the snow?? That would have been SO enough of a reason for me to bow out. Who am I kidding - the most I've run is a 10K. Awesome job!
That is awesome! I am impressed with running in the snow, I am not good at that. That is dedication!
AWESOME! You look really strong at the finish and congrats on getting through it in the yucky weather. Are you doing the Wasatch Back this year? There are 5 spots on my team...interested?
Good job friend! Sounds horrible
congrats!!!! wow! you are in amazing shape- 1/2 marathon is quite the accomplishment!
congrats - mine is in 2 weeks and I am excited - and REALLY hoping it isn't snowing the morning of! you look great too - after running that much!
Way to go Anne! I think you are crazy for thinking running is fun. You should come back and play tennis. Haha.
Oh Anne- you don't even look like you just ran a half marathon. Your hair is done!
Great job!

Yay! I'm impressed. I think running a half marathon is something I will NEVER get to check off my list.
Big hugs!
Congrats! I hope to check that off my list someday too! Good job on doing it alone! You're awesome.
