A couple months ago I ran my first half marathon! I could not believe that I could run 13.1 miles! The furthest I had ever run before that was 3 miles, so this was a pretty big challenge for me! Plus I am not much of a runner. I had not been working out at all so I was starting from scratch. My sister-in-law Jennifer was the one who suggested that we do it together. So we started the week of Christmas and were pretty good about following our training schedule. Jennifer has run a full marathon before. The training was not too bad, just time consuming especially our longer runs. But it was well worth it!
One of my sweet patients got me Thurlo socks and a sweet note. They were my good luck charm!

About to cross the finish line!
Poor Jennifer took a tumble, but was hardcore and kept running!
We did it! And I met my goal of not walking!
