Half #2

I'm not a great runner, but I'm a bit addicted. Not addicted enough to try for a whole marathon, but I'm really enjoying training and running halfs! My friend, Jennie, and I trained in Tallahassee, while my sister trained in SC. We all planned to run the Tybee Island half marathon this past Saturday. My dad decided to run at the last minute. We all met at a hotel in Savannah Friday night.

Us in the hotel lobby before leaving for the race.

It was a really nice run - totally flat and you could see the ocean during many parts of the race. I loved running through the campgounds, down the totally touristy roads and past the lighthouse. A really fun run that I would totally do again! It was really nice that I shaved over 10 minutes off of my last half marathon time...thanks to the flat course!

Me finishing the race - kind of goofy 'cause I'm waving to the kids as I'm coming down the last stretch.

Me coming across the finish line - official time: 2:08:36. It was a 9:49 pace...I was would have been happy with anything under 10 minutes, so I'll take it.

All of us right after the race - it was REALLY windy, which made it feel darn right cold.
