OMG...we DID IT. We ran a half marathon. And WOW was it HARD. No lie. It was at a state park outside of Faribault, therefore for 11 of the miles we were in the woods in a state park running on wet, leaf covered trails with tree roots sticking up all over and HILLS. Oh my word were there hills.
So no, I did not achieve my goal of running the entire time. I had to walk up the hills, they were crazy, and they just kept coming. Not to whine or complain, but I did certainly not train for hills, even though I should have.
That said, I still did meet my time goal of less than two hours and thirty minutes. Ha, barely...came in at 2:29 something...can't remember. I was focusing on staying standing and not falling over my legs were so tired.
Pictures to come, just thought I'd update you all that we finished :)

Christy! I am so impressed and proud. Great work! And makes me feel a little terrible for my 3 miles on the elliptical today. :)
That is awesome Christy! Good for you!
At least you workout Sarah...the closest thing I get to working out is bending over while holding Kate to pick up a nuk. Great for the thighs.
I have no idea how you survived Christy. My chest hurts just thinking of running that far. You are amazing. Good work!
congrats! That is awesome!
Way to go Christy! I'm jealous...what an awesome thing to accomplish.
Way to go Christy- one day Connor will be waiting at the finish line to cheer you on. Better yet- maybe he will join you in the training -I think running training- big plus in ANY sport.
Congrats!
