Whatever....

I was going to explain in full detail exactly why I decided to run a half marathon without training but I won't. I know it's not a big deal to most of you out there because there are lots of people who run marathons and run them on a regular basis (like my little sis who does this and triathlons), but if you know me- you know that I am not an athlete and I am definitely not a runner. I run on a regular basis but not enough to train for a half marathon. I'm not competitive- I leave that to my husband, he's very athletic and very competitive. If you challenge him- he'll win, guaranteed.

So, I'll just say it was a glorious day for me when I ran across the finish line. For some reason I still had this nagging inner voice telling me I wasn't good enough to even try it but when someone tells me I can't do something or I'm not good enough, I try as hard as I can to do it anyway. Yes, I'm slow but I really don't care. The people who love me don't care either. I'm sure if I trained, I would have been faster. I was just tired of putting it off for reasons beyond my control. I really wished my husband could have been there, but he was training some guys for the Marine Corps at Camp Williams that morning. I was just so happy to see my dad, my mother in law and of course, by biggest fan- my baby boy:-)
