6.21 [Check]

Today was race day! Despite some stressful bumps beforehand (aka locking the keys in the trunk....losing my headphones...) I had a really great experience. 

I finished in 79:31 with an average of 12:48/mile. When I first started, it took me about 15 minutes to run one mile!
Now, I know I haven't accomplished anything super impressive in the wider scheme of things...there are people who ran faster and longer than I did. I met the woman who took second place in the marathon, finishing in a little over two hours and thirty minutes (!) and she said to me; everyone has to start somewhere.
