Today I ran my first half marathon!!! I ran with my friend, Milvia, from work. She is awesome and an awesome nurse. I love working with her, but she is leaving for better pastures in January. I've enjoyed getting to know her over the past months and so sad to see her leave, but hoping for friendship to continue.

I ran in 2:02. Grrrr...barely over 2 hours. My goal was under 2 hours, but that will be for next time!! Milvia and I ran for 9 miles, then I split off. She came in about half a mile behind me, 6 min after I did. I fell on mile 11 on the brick road. I called it too. Thank goodness for pants because there would have been blood. Now I have a great bruised knee with road rash. Awesome.


I cleaned my room today. I have lived in my house since August, but never really unpacked. Here's what is has looked like since I moved in. But this is the worst is has ever looked . I haven't unpacked from Washington DC trip and Thanksgiving last weekend.


And here's what it looks like now!!!!


Please pray for my Grandpa. His health has been on the decline as of late and he has been hospitalized for over a week now. I love this guy. He is my PawPaw Bear. My Grandma is so strong. Just keep them in your prayers.

congrats on the race!! good thing you were wearing pants for other reasons than blood...probably would have been disqualified for running in your undies :)
