You know what's totally awesome? I decided to do Blogtober and didn't even realize that the prompt for Day 5 would be about bucket lists - which is awesome, because today I got to cross something off of my bucket list! With the support and encouragement of my wonderful husband and dearest friends, I finished my first half marathon today! The San Jose Rock n Roll 1/2 was so much fun and I'm definitely already sore, but I'm so happy I did it! Plus, I totally exceeded my own expectations and finished in exactly 2 hours! Woohoo!
These friends are the best and were so encouraging the entire way - it was awesome to finish together! My parents were there, too, cheering us on around mile 12 when I was feeling pretty fatigued and that gave me the extra push I needed. I felt so loved!
Feels good to see hard work pay off! Hopefully I'll stay motivated to keep it up...
Finishing a half marathon... amazing! I've always wanted to complete some sort of race but I'm not much of a runner, like, at all haha. Hopefully one day I can get there!

You go girl! I can't fathom running 13.1 miles... .1 is hard enough!
