No Sleep Til Brooklyn...Half Marathon

Brooklyn Museum - Start of the race!
Yesterday Todd & I ran in our first Half Marathon!  Oh snap!  Talk about feelin' like a boss!  A boss that can barely walk, wobbles down stairs, and contemplates peeing in her pants just to keep from having to get up.  Yeah, that kind of boss! Despite the pain, Todd & I feel really great about our run yesterday. 

 We joined the New York Road Runners in January, by doing so we qualified for the 9 plus 1 program.  If we do 9 runs this year plus volunteer for one event, we have guaranteed entry into the 2014 New York Marathon.  Yesterday's Brooklyn Half marked our 7th run out of the 9!

WE MADE IT!!!!
Medals are a great accessory!




















When I joined the NYRR's I had no intention of running a half or full marathon.  I just wanted to run 5Ks, 4 milers and maybe a 10K here and there.  I have to say that races are addictive.  After running my first "long run" yesterday, I want more!  Not only do I want to run more races but I want to get better!  Here's to training, hard work, and sharing good times with my friends and husband!
