The Miami Half Marathon.. again!

It is that time of year again that once again I strapped on my running shoes and stood in the dark at 6:00 am with 18,000 other crazy people to run 13 miles through Miami Beach. This is the fourth year in a row that I have run the Miami Half Marathon and the third year that my mom has run it with me. Each year I am so inspired by the energy and all the types of people that run... young, old, big, small, disabled, you name it. Though my legs would like to say a few words of their own today, we had a blast! I didn't bet my time from last year, but I finished in 1 hour and 47 minutes (three minutes off my goal). Somehow after the pain of it all, the races are addicting and I'm already looking for the next one. I've gotta do something about those 3 minutes!

Chad and his dad came to watch us finish (thanks guys!!), I'm there in the purple...
