I ran my 1st Half Marathon on Saturday, March 26, 2011. I ran the half marathon in Riverton City with my older sister Jamie. We did a lot of our training together leading up to the race. This is Jamie's 3rd half and my 1st.
The race went extremely well. I was able to meet my goal and I ran the 13.1 miles in 1:45:10 that's a 8:01minute/mile. I was the 15th women to finish and I was 1st in my age group. My goal was to do it in about 1:45 and I did it. The course had tons of hills and it was very windy. Needless to say I am very proud that I did it!!! Maybe I'll run a marathon before too long...
Jared wasn't able to be there when I crossed the finical line. Jared was watching Jamie's kids for the first part of the race but then Jamie didn't leave her keys for Jared. Don't worry he was there when I got my really cool trophy!

Congrats! That is so good! 8-minute mile for the whole thing is so great! I'm still looking for a running partner--everyone here doesn't want to go if it is early or cold or... pretty much anything else but perfect conditions (which hardly ever occurs). I know you would go with me! Congrats again. One day I hope to do the same.
You totally can! I did half of my training on a treadmill because I hate the cold. I just did the big Saturday runs with my sister outside! You can totally do it!
Way to go Jenny. That is awesome, and way to get first on your first half marathon.
You are a champion! I am awful at running so way to go:)
