The Halloween Half

A week ago on Saturday I ran my first HALF MARATHON!!! I honestly didn't know what I was getting myself into at first, but it was a huge accomplishment and I am so glad I did it. I had a blast!

Since it was Halloween season, dressing up in Halloween costumes was a must. One of my best friends, Devri, and I dressed up as jazzercise girls - but since it was freeeeezing out, we decided to wear our running jackets over our costumes. But we still had fun anyway!

Honestly, the race was not as bad as I thought it would be. If you ask my husband, I was SO nervous the day before... literally freaking out. I could hardly sleep the night before... I maybe got 5 hours of sleep. But I knew that with a positive attitude and belief that I could endure through the race, I could get through it! And I did!
