13.1

what of it? I ran a half marathon on saturday. it was actually fun and I'm not just saying this to toot my own horn, but it wasn't even that hard. kind of relaxing in a weird you-dont-stop-running-for-two-and-a-half-hours way.

I am an emotional person and at one point, about 2 miles in, I almost started crying. oh no, not from pain or fear of disappointing myself and others, but because the sound of hundreds of feet slapping up a large hill in unison--not giving up!-- was a little more unity than i could handle. i suppose everyone took their teamosil that morning.
probably my favorite part of it all, besides crossing the finish line and getting a free gatorade and shirt, was when i hit "the wall." (which in this case was a steep-as hill.) I was tired to say that least, but thank goodness for music and my go to "I'm-awesome-I-can-do-this" song









which is none other than....









hey, whatever works right?
