Mission accomplished!

i can cross off one of my dream goals now: to complete a 1/2 marathon, and i did it :-)  i got my very first medal ever, and the rush i got at the end when i crossed was amazing.  i finished in 2:05:58, a lot faster than I thought I'd finish it.  I'm ecstatic (i know the pic doesn't show it, in fact, i was on the verge of tears when Jay snapped this pic! LOL
  
The downside though is that that nagging pain in my upper quad/groin is killing me now. As soon as I stopped running and tried walking out of the finishers' chute, I was limping...and am not walking comfortably at all now.  I'm icing, and trying to move around as much as I can, but luckily I took tomorrow off and will go see my chiro dude tomorrow, and hopefully won't hear bad news.

CONGRATULATIONS!! That's awesome!

I'm so happy for you and your achievement. You'll always cherish the medal and if they had any official photographers on course be sure to buy a keep-sake photo as well.

Your first half-marathon complete. Now you have your own PB to beat next time ;)

Congratulations!

Hopefully nothing serious... I am barely able to walk today either!
