First Half Marathon.........

Awesome job, congrats on the success.

It is a great feeling to complete that first 1/2 marathon isn't it.
You deserve that feeling.  Enjoy it!

Scott - Unlike I ever imagined.........I'm such an emotional girl I had some serious moments in the race where I was overwhelmed by how amazing it was...........the whole experience in Cleveland turned out to be a fantastic trip.  I will definitely be doing this race every year.  Except the FULL next year there.  :-)

great job
scotty

Thanks Scotty...........my quads are the only really, really sore thing today.  Calves are sore but not as much.  And my lungs........well the cold progressed.  Calling pulmonologist!

Great job ! My 1st will be WPAFB in the fall. I haven't decided if it will be a half or full yet.

I'm registering for the USAF half today. 

I'm thinking I will do the half as well and then do the full in Columbus in October.

Just a forewarning.........I thought the Cleveland half had a LOT of steep grades (for me anyway with my stupid lungs) and I heard from marathoners that the Columbus marathon is extremely hilly..............just  be prepared for that. 

Oh and if you're ready..........here's proof I'm THERE
