Halloween Half

I ran my first ever half marathon on Halloween! I think I must have been crazy, but I did it. I probably looked crazy too since I was dressed up like Optimus Prime. The last 3-4 miles I wanted to rip my feet off but I made it in the end. Actually, I think if I'd known how far I was I would have given up. At the start of the race it was 29 degrees. It's a good thing Chris is amazing and got me some gloves the night before because I didn't even think about it. They started us an hour late but I still managed to have about the same end time I was hoping for. I finished in 3 hours 40ish minutes, I'm not sure of the exact time because I was about ready to pass out by the time I trudged across the finish line. I'm so proud of myself! This is by far one of my biggest achievements so far in my life. Especially since before the actual marathon I'd only managed to run 6 miles in a little under 2 hours. Now I'm just trying to hobble around on legs that feel like they're filled with cement. I'll be back to normal in a few days...I hope.
