Welcome to my running blog! This will update my friends and family of my continued running training and races that I participate in! I also hope to encourage others to take up running and learn to enjoy such a motivating sport!

Second Half Marathon Complete!
I finished my second half marathon on Saturday! I ran the Dowd YMCA Half Marathon in Charlotte. I must say this was the toughest course I have ever ran! It felt about 80% up hill. It was extremely challenging. This race really felt like a "runners race". You didn't see many people out there that didn't look like seasoned runners. I think it may have something to do with the course. I still had a great time though! We had a group of 4 girls that ran it and that always makes it more fun! It was very cold (in the 30's), but i'd rather run in the cold than in the heat. I was happy with my time. I ran it in 1 hour 56 minutes. I had hoped to run it in a faster time than before, but with this being a tougher course, I honestly know I pushed myself more with this one. I ran both half's in almost the exact same time and this one was much more difficult, so I am happy with that! I've been so sore for the last few days, but i'm recovering! I'm not sure what my next race will be, but i'll keep everyone posted!
