My First Half Marathon

I ran my first half marathon this April. Hardest thing I have ever trained for! I have enjoyed doing 5K's, 8K's, stair climbs in Milwaukee and Chicago, and a triathlon. I was looking for a new challenge. My friend Jill has been running also and found out about the South Shore Half Marathon in Milwaukee. This race is put on by the Badgerland Striders the beautiful Oak Leaf Trail along Lake Michigan. Nothing better then running next to the lake and taking in the views. My sister and brother in law joined in also to complete their first half marathons. It is really inspiring having friends and family to run with.
