Half Marathoners

Last spring when Brian and I started a "Couch to 5K" running program with the Birmingham Track Club, I'm not sure I really believed I could finish a 5K, but last weekend we ran our first half marathon! After deciding to officially train in September, we put in many long hours on road, wore out 4 pairs of tennis shoes, and suffered through our fair share of aches and pains, but WE DID IT! We finished the Mercedes Half Marathon in Birmingham with a time of 2:21:01. It's time for a little break and some cross training, but we're definintely setting our sights on a repeat performance later this year.
