Half Marathon Race

It is finished! I ran and finished my first ever half marathon this past weekend! Our friends Jamie and Claire along with some friends from church all went down to Seaside, FL to run in the half marathon. While the rest of the south was getting snow we were at a very windy and cool beach, running our hearts out! I really did not start feeling bad until mile 10, that is when I got a horrible cramp in my stomach which slowed me down. But needless to say I finished in 2 hours and 33 minutes (with the Lord's help)! I hope to do it again next year but my goal will be 2 hours and 15 minutes!
The whole weekend was fun and we enjoyed being in Seaside, just a cute town!

Great job, Hollie! I'm proud of you, running (that far) is not easy, especially in cold weather. I'm very impressed! You look great and I miss you!

Congrats again, Hollie. BTW, you may want to hit that edit button to correct a typo in the middle of the post that made me laugh and laugh. I'm not sure why it tickled me so, but I appreciate the chuckle. I'll let you find it yourself :).

Jenn - I got it! Can't beleive no one else noticed I had a crap in my stomach rather than a cramp!! Too funny!
