Yesterday was the Lincoln Half Marathon! I have run 13.1 miles on numerous occasions but I have never raced a half marathon....I seriously had a GREAT race! Great weather, a few windy spots, but nothing major! Sun shine, great crowd! The best part....a finish line on the Husker's 50 yard line at Memorial Stadium.....I mean honestly...could you find a better finish line in Nebraska...I think not! I had hoped to run somewhere close to 2:15:00, when I saw the forecast and the wind estimates (17 mph gusts) I thought I could be happy if I stayed below 2:30:00. When I came busting through that stadium and looked up at the clock I seriously almost peed!!

a BIG Congratulations! This is a great achievement. Marathons always mean the best of fitness that is required and completing a half marathon or a marathon means that the person surely has it. Such a great feeling it must be.
I too have a wish to run a marathon some day.
Congrats to you again!
YAY!! Look at what I've missed! What an awesome job!
CONGRATULATIONS NIKKI! SO proud of you!!
