Good morning y’all! I woke up feeling a little stiff this morning but nothing unbearable. I want to thank you all for all of your positive and supportive messages. Words cannot express how appreciative I am.
Run my first half marathon, check!
After experiencing a handful “health hiccups” over the past few years which had led to me postponing races, I feel so blessed to have crossed the finish line yesterday at the Rock ‘n’ Roll USA Half Marathon 
As corny as it may sound…

…and I believed 100% that I could do it!
I’ll recap more marvelous moments about the race and this weekend tomorrow, but today I’ve gotta take Ryan to the airport, do some things around our apartment, may go to the gym to shakeout my legs on the bike, and think that I’ve earned myself a pedicure. I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend!
P.S. I think I’ve been bit by the running bug…
