Amazing half marathon!! complete with 4 monstrous bridges! I only walked twice-and I yelled at myself for doing so. but it was an incredible race!!
My First Marathon- The Bi-Lo Myrtle Beach Marathon
Official Time: 6:26
Running a marathon on 8 weeks pregnant was excilerating, exciting, and exhausting! My original goal was in the 5 hour range. But between a mental breakdown around mile 21, lots of walking which caused stiffness at the end, and fear of overdoing it with the baby, I pulled a 6 hour range. But, i didn't care-I did it! I ran a full marathon! Yippee!

Official Time 47:38
Not only was this course longer than a typical 5K (almost 1/2 a mile longer!) which skewed the results....but I was about 5 months pregnant at the time and definitely had to stop a few times!! Plus I had to stop to go to the bathroom haha. Don't worry. That is beer in my cup, but I only got it because it was free and I could give it to others!
Komen Race for the Cure
No idea on the official time here. Just that it was a lot of fun!! Ran the vast majority of it and had a great time! Dana went ahead and went with Erika and Michelle and Shannon stuck with me. We took 2 or 3 walking breaks, and I remember we finished somewhere in the low 40 range I believe.
Giant Eagle Multisport Festival
Official Time: 54:44
Not going to lie...mainly ran this race to get the medal. hahaha. At 7 months pregnant, it was rough! I never had to stop due to being out of breath though-mainly just pain! but I did it! I finished it and it was great!! Even if I was sore afterwards!

I was super excited for this race. It was insanely cold, but I managed to get through it! My brother Dan, ran along with me. Best part? Definitely the bottle of wine at the end!!

I ran (walked/attempted to jog) this race with a bunch of co-workers. It was a lot of fun, though at this point, I truly HATED running lol. I did no prep whatsoever, and my friend Kelly and I attempted to do it together. We jogged parts of it. All I remember is my feet and shins absolutely killing me! But we did it!! This was the beginning of my running!!
Komen Race for the Cure
No even sure of the official time, but I believe it was in the 40 minute range. Definitely ran more this time and was a little more hit by the bug! I ran/walked this with Mary and Katie and Michelle met us at the finish line (they ran it). After this race I was truly on the verge of being hooked!
