We did it!

This past weekend I walked my 2nd half marathon in Evansville. Seeing as I am now a little over 18 weeks pregnant and seeing as how the long training walks seemed "easy," this half marathon was MUCH more difficult than the one I did 2 1/2 years ago in St. Louis. About mile 9, my legs, feet and hips were screaming...not to mention that I was definitely feeling pregnant. All that said, we did great! We finished the race in 3 hours 28 minutes and 7 seconds, and we had quite a few bathroom stops, so I consider it a success! The best part was seeing Maggie and Greg at the finish along with spending time with my mom, sister, sister-in-law, and my great friend Rachel. I figure it took me longer to walk this race than it did for me to drive to Evansville from St. Louis!! I know we were "just walkers," but I'm here to tell you that it is hard to walk 13.1 miles!!! Here are a few pictures:
