I ran my FIRST half marathon this weekend in Kiawah Island, SC. Prior to yesterday, the farthest I've run has been an 8K at about 50 minutes, which usually includes a few "walking breaks." In preparation for the big run, I did run 3 miles earlier last week, so I was really ready for 13.2miles. Anyway, I ran the half marathon with Sara's friend, Christy, and we did it without stopping. I know the time, 2:35, is not impressive, but you know what . . . I ran it, without having to walk , I enjoyed it (see first picture, 10.5 miles into it - we carried those oranges for about a mile knowing that they'd made a great picture), I felt great, and I finished it!!!
The other pictures: my "Rock Star" band playing Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive." The people who stayed in the house who ran. Don't be too impressed with their medals . . . we all got one for finishing. Finally, that's me, Cool Daddy-To-Be Compton!!! =)
