Half Marathon

I decided I was going to run the half marathon, in May, at Lake Winnipesaukee with Sweet Feet, (a group of runners originating with Jessica my roommate and made up mostly of LDS runners). I started training after I got back from Ecuador in March. I did better than I expected and enjoyed the experience. Maybe I'll do another one someday.
This is Emily and I at the starting line.

Me running although my form isn't great it was a good effort. It wasn't as hard as I expected even with the hills. I must have trained sufficiently.



Emily came up from DC to cheer us on. This is Emily, Me, Lora, and Jess at the finish line. It was great to have people cheering me on as I ran. Great race because there are lots of people along the route to cheer us on. I found that I liked running in races because other runners encouraged me to keep going.
