Last month I ran the Xenia Half Marathon. It was my first long race since having Mallory- much easier to do than the Flying Pig half marathon I did 4 weeks before having her. I did Jeff Galloway's run/walk training program and really liked it. I finished in 2 hrs 18 mins and felt great afterwards. The weather was beautiful and I had those adorable faces to meet me at the end. Elise and Mallory crossed the finish line with me and Elise was so excited. She kept saying, "I did it! I ran my first race! I got my first medal!" She wanted to race again, I said absolutely not! I'll be running the USAF full marathon in September if any of you gals want to join me (Shae? Gina? I promise no hotel fire the night before.)
