My First 1/2 marathon!

What a great accomplishment for this momma of 4 for me to be able to train for a 1/2 marathon all while being a mom, homeschooling teacher, wife, friend, cook, doctor, counselor, daughter... and the list goes on.......  BUT all that to say is Glory to God, hard work, dedication, friends encouragement, running partners always help with the goal! I was SOOOOOOO blessed by God to stay healthy during the training and only minimal aches and pains, one dehydration and only a few times taking ibuprofen .....   we all (Doug, Chuck S, Jen B, Jen S, Michele, Jon, David, Angela )(and Steph J met us there)....  piled in the mini van and headed down 16 to Savannah....  WHAT A FUN RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....    we got there and we were met by TRAFFIC to the expo......, got in and out of the expo, then headed to dinner with David and Angela, let me tell you that EVERYBODY in Savannah was eating there... we waited I think close to 2 hours then we decided to eat outside. IT WAS FREEZING!!!!  this was a COLD night in Savannah....  drove an hour to the Cecils place in Darian (which was NICE) well what we could see in the dark :)  we got to sleep about 11:30 then beep, beep, beep......  the alarm...... it was time to get up....  3:00am........   left Darian about 3:45.....  drove an  hour to Savannah got to the corral area.........   waited till the start time 7:30....  ran with my running partner (Stephanie J)the whole race.....   there is sooooo many details that I want to share but it is just TOOO much!
