Rock 'n Roll

There is a much longer post that will be written in the coming days about this amazing weekend and my AMAZING friends and family.  I cannot remember a time where I felt more spoiled, supported, loved, and cared for.  And 99% of this weekend was a huge, enormous surprise.

For the time being, to make a long story short, we ROCKED the Rock 'n Roll.  My goal, to do a 1/2 Marathon before Connor's 1st birthday in November, is complete.  And for a girl who gained almost 100 pounds due to infertility (stress, hormones) and two high risk pregnancies back-to-back I can't tell you how good that feels.  I wasn't fast today, but I finished.  Ran the whole thing with my best friend (who surprised me from San Diego).  I know she could have lapped me twice and probably walked at my running pace.  But she didn't, kept me going the whole way, and we had a blast.
