Mission: ACCOMPLISHED! (2 more to go)

**First of all, I would like to preface this post by saying I am procrastinating from my studies.  Second of all, I would like to point out that this blog post has been on my "To Do" list for about a month now.  So really, it NEEDED to be done! **

I DID IT! I RAN A HALF MARATHON!! 
I finished in 128 min! My goal was to finish in 130 min... I BEAT my goal! It was a great run and I definitely want to run another one.  Do I have a desire to run a full marathon? As of right now, no, but that could change.  After I ran my 10K last year I told myself that that was the longest run I ever wanted to do, now look at me: I AM A FINISHER OF A HALF MARATHON! 
My friend, Ashley, was supposed to run with me. Sadly, she got sick and couldn't make it.  Luckily, Shelby was able to join me in today's events and I am so THANKFUL! 

Here are some pics from today:

Standing at the Start Line hoping that my training will prove to be successful! 

 Shelby waiting in line with me at the bathroom.  I was hoping that if I went pee before the race I wouldn't have to go while I was running, apparently not! I had to stop and pee around my 4th mile. TMI? oh well! Do you expect anything different? 

My last mile of the race, finishing strong! Shelby was there to run alongside me for a little bit! 

 SO HAPPY!!! It was a great race and I am very proud of myself! 

I have successfully completed Goal #2!!! Now, 2 more to go.  Here is an update on the others:
  • Guitar-- I haven't been playing it as much as I should.  School is taking up the majority of my time.  I need to map out a time during my week where I can just focus on practicing.  I will try to do that this week, PROMISE! I need to have a jam session w/ some friends that can help me out! 
  • Proactive--Again, school! I am still a huge supporter of this product and I have been thinking about how I will approach this goal.  Don't you worry, I am still going to pursue this! Just because I haven't acted on it yet does not mean anything!!! 

--Someday IS Today--
