“At first an ordeal and then an accomplishment, the daily run becomes a staple, like bread, or wine, a fine marriage, or air. It is also a free pass to friendship.”

Sub Two!!!

I promise a full recap is coming as soon as I can sit calmly and write it out....but wanted to shout this from the rooftops for those that maybe haven't heard yet.....

Remember that sub two hour half marathon goal I dreamed about after running the Santa Hustle???

I DID IT YESTERDAY!
Paper posted preliminary results!
I did it even though the conditions weren't perfect!

Happy doesn't really cover it.
Brandon helped me through the tough parts....so I'm all smiles!
Funny that it happened THIS weekend.  It occurred to me the night before the race.  One year ago, on this weekend, I ran my first half marathon post-Avery.  My goal for that race?  Sub 2:30.

Again.  Happy doesn't really cover it.

More to come later!
