Runnin' Fool
Hey! I'm just back tonight from NYC, where I ran my first half-marathon -- and had a very fun girls' weekend with friends Lisa, Sara and Steph.
The half-marathon was amazing. It was a ladies-only event with more than 7,000 runners circling Central Park. I felt really lucky to be a part of it.
I finished the half (which is 13.1 miles) in about 2-1/2 hours. Slow and steady... finishes the race?
When I called the boys after the race, I told Christian that I got a medal. "What place?!" he asked in excitement.
"Oh, honey -- it's not a place. It's just a silver medal."
When Jay called back later, he said, "Christian tells me you got second place..."
Too funny. I most decidedly didn't get second place. I didn't even get 1,002 place! But I did have a great time and I can now officially say that I've run a half-marathon.
Do I dare say that a marathon is next?
...yah, I don't know. I'm taking a training break for awhile! -- Jen

Congratulations! You ARE a running fool! What an accomplishment...in fact it deserves a Cold Stone ice cream!
