I want to run the half marathon in 2:10; that's 9 minutes faster than my time almost 5 years ago when I last ran one. So, Mary has me doing speedwork and t...

I did it! I had an amazing time at the race today and proudly tackled the crazy mountains hills that were all over the course. It was a great challenge though and I will definitely be back next year. My mental list came in handy when the going got tough, especially #12. Yes, I enjoyed every single lick of the chocolate ice cream that I got af...
