I know I have not blog in a long time but I had to get on and tell everyone that I ran my half marathon  this past sunday. I was not able to run the whole time but I did finish with a time of 2 hours 31 minutes and 44 seconds. Only 3minutes and 50 seconds behind my dad. I have to say that when I was running the race and watched my dad who will turn 65 this month run right past me and finish before me was amazing. I joined this site for extra  motivation and inspiration but what I found out on sunday was I had the motivation I needed all alone with my dad. I was just to blind to see it. I have never seen my dad so proud of me in my life. I thought I could beat him even though he had been running now for 5 or 6 years but I was wrong. The race was much harder then I had thought and I realized when my dad passed me up and i followed him to the finish line that he is amazing. I plan to run more half marathons and one day complete a full one. I don't think my dad will ever be able to run a full one it will just be to much on him, but I will for myself and for my dad. And by the way I wont let him beat me again. I have now inspired other people in my family to run. On memorial day this year, my dad, my 15 year old nephew and myself will be running a 10k . My sister and my 12 year old niece will running thier first 5k. I think it is great that me training running and finishing a half marathon has inspired others in my family to do the same. Lastly I would like to say that running even the half marathon was an amazing experience I recommend it to everyone. even if you can not run one mile I say get out there and walk the whole day thing because there is nothing like it!
