I finished See Jane!


I know this entry is so late in coming, but I was actually reminded to post the outcome. I was so glad to be done, I forgot that I was blogging about my experience.

I didn't run the See Jane 1/2 marathon, but I feel I met my goal of completing a half marathon by my 40th birthday, which is 8 days from today. I learned during this journey that I'm not a runner and I'm so okay with it. The most important thing I learned was to continue a level of fitness; to maintain good health.

I'm a walker, a sashay-er, a girl who will get to the finish line...eventually. I'm happy when my event is over. I'm happy when I get some good free stuff at the end of the event. I'm happy when I can take my shoes off and slip on my flip-flops. I'm most happy when I shower, take a nap, and wake up with minimal- to no soreness.

And so...I prepare to do it all again. My first 1/2 marathon after turning 40 on October 17th. I have six weeks to get it together as I've been a total slacker. I'm confident that I will get it together to cross another finish line. I'm confident that I will get it together to continue to maintain good health.
