Today’s Run:  13.1 miles

Today was the much anticipated Mississippi Blues Half Marathon.  My husband and I have been training for this race since the middle of November.  If you follow this blog at all, you will be aware of the difficulties we have encountered in the training for this race.  We went in today feeling unprepared.

However, the race went very well.  My husband, who has been running since we were married had a very nice PR that he set a long time ago and so he did not set a new PR today.  This is only my second Half Marathon and I did set a new PR~by 7 minutes!  Bells and Whistles!!!

The race was very well organized and they had bands set up around the course so as you ran, you had music to help you pick up your feet and put them back down again.

The race medals we received are excellent!

And according to the race officials, I finished the Mississippi Blues Half Marathon in 2:51!  It was a wonderful feeling to be done and to have a feeling of having accomplished and completed something successfully.
