On my list of goals for the year I included running a half marathon. I have run three before, so it's not like this is something new; however, I wanted to push myself and see what I could accomplish. I completed the Miles with the Giant 2011 Half Marathon. This run wasn't about beating my previous times which were 2:27, 2:24, and 2:21 respectively, it was about finishing. And that's what I did, with a time of 2:37. Over the past two years, there were many days where getting out of bed was difficult and the thought of walking without pain seemed incomprehensible. I know my energy level isn't back at 100%, but I needed to prove to myself that I could do it. I was lucky...I am still here; I did it for those who couldn't.
Goals for 2011-2012:
Sky dive1/2 Marathon- Finish my degree (taking my last class now) and attend convocation
- Spend a week on the beach
- Trip to Banff
- Visit Allison in Australia
Many, many congratulations, Jenn. Well done!
