Ohmigod SQUEEEE!

I ran my third half-marathon today.  That's 13.1 miles.

At a later time (probably tomorrow) there will be a post filled with race day details like what I wore, what and when I ate, etc; mostly so I can track it for myself going forward.  But here's what has me all squeeful.

Last year I finished this race in 2:42:15.

This year I finished in 2:23:10!!!!!  (And there really need to be capslocks for numbers.)  That's right - 18 minutes faster!  I attribute this to my training being better, my day before being better planned, and having lost 10+ pounds but still, I was aiming to beat 2:30.

2:23:10.  Today, I kind of rock.
