13.1 miles = COMPLETED!

So, Today was the BIG day. I've been training with Courtney, Tiffany and Dia for 4 months now in order to be prepared for this 1/2 MARATHON. I'm not going to lie, it was hard but so worth it! My legs are KILLING me now. [just a few hours later]

I finished in 2 hours and 34 minutes. Hey! I just wanted to finish! :)

This is me and my new friend Dave

 [He's 'our' guy. :) We met him at the beginning of the race. 

He and I ran together for a good half. He is awesome!]

 This is at the finish line... I thought I was going to die!

See! We stayed together! :) 

Its funny, because a lot of these pictures look like Im walking... I wasnt. :) I ran the whole thing. [Slow... but running]

And here is Tiffany and Courtney... they are awesome!!!

Me and my boo at the end! He is such a great supporter! He was more proud of my medal than I was... as you can see here. :)

Thank you everyone for all the support... it is much appreciated!

And thanks to Michaels parents and brother who traveled up here to watch and cheer me on!  

Oh! and if you ever get the chance to help or just go to any kind of race... do it! Its soooo nice having people cheering you on [even if you don't know them.]

You may call me Mrs Hodges

Today is Michael and my 2nd anniversary! What an exciting day!

 I got to leave work early to get home and get ready for our BIG DATE NIGHT! 

We went to PF Changs for the first time. Its absolutely delish! We walked in and they asked if we were celebrating a birthday. 

"No, our anniversary." With big grins on our faces. 

The manager decided to give us free dessert because of the occasion (we think they do that a lot... but hey, we are not complaining... free dessert... YES PLEASE!)

 We decided to get an appetizer (which also became free... because the manager thought it took too long for our food to come out...Hey, Thanks!) Michael got Orange Chicken and I got Honey Chicken (Mine was better! I know this because Michael ate all of his and some of mine :) For dessert, Michael had a chocolate cake thingy and I had cheese cake. It was fantastic! We would LOVE to go again! For the food and the service.

Then we walked to the movies (what a beautiful night after the rain). We saw 'Crazy, Stupid, Love'. It was good. Definitely would recommend it to ya!

It was such a great night... not because we ate out, or saw a movie... but because we were able to spend time together. I LOVE my husband! Thanks, Michael, for the last 2 years of [learning] marriage... onward to the next 50!
