On Sunday, eight weeks after having Aubrey, I completed my very first half marathon in 3:38:12! (13.2 miles, in case you were wondering!) It was so amazing because it was to support breast cancer research at Mayo Clinic, and it was even more speical for Aubrey and I because my Aunt Karen was just diagnosed with breast cancer in Dec. 09. The crowd was just wonderful! There were bands along A1A, and people in front of there homes cheering us on!! Aubrey was getting so much attention too!! People keep wanting to take pictures of the youngest half marathoner ever!! hehe!
The last 3 1/2 miles were so painful!! It was all uphill on the JTB brigde in Jax beach. I almost think that this was more painful then labor because at least you get pain med options during labor, but this.... the only thing that makes the pain go away is to finish the whole thing! And I completed my goal of running 5.2 of the 13 miles!
Yay, Carey and Aubrey! Way to go girls!
