Never say never: my first half marathon!

On Columbus Day weekend, I ran my first half marathon in Brooklyn, NY! After 3 years of running consistently with one of my dear friends Joy for general fitness, I decided to get out of my own way and train for the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon. We trained for 3 months using the ASICS running app, and I have to admit that I really enjoyed the experience. The training runs were hard, because I am not a natural distance runner, but I stuck with the program. Joy and I got out there four times a week and ran with a purpose. On October 10th, I got out there and made it happen. Distance running is as much about the strength of your will as it is the strength of your body, and I am really proud of myself for running the entire course, and beating my training pace!

I'm actually shocked to say it, but this might become an annual thing for me. Only time will tell :)
