Half Marathon Pics📸

I am so proud to say I ran my first Half Marathon!

I put in a lot of training and hard work. I almost couldn’t run this because 3 weeks before my race I developed a stress injury. I seen doctors, had an mri, went to physical therapy, recovery therapy, and did everything I could to run this race. I was cleared by my orthopedist to run this 3 days before the race. Although I hadn’t run in 3 weeks, I was able to run a 2hr and 14 min half. It wasn’t my original goal time pre injury, but I am so so so proud of myself.

This race was run on pure excitement to just be present!🩷
