My First Half Marathon!

On Sunday...

8 months after signing up

and 5 months after

my first official training run

I ran and completed

without stopping once

my first half marathon

Time: 2:24

I felt awesome

But

I also felt terrible

It was a great experience 

A fun time

(Rock n Roll Marathon)

and I am so proud of myself

and my two friends who I did it with!

At the end... all I could think
was
How the HELL am I going to do this x2 in 3 months?!?
Eek...let the training continue!!!

There is such thing as a great date???

I hadn't done much with on-line dating
in a few weeks
due to vacations
and past dates that just sucked

One day I was looking around on the site
And saw a cute guy with a lot about him
that really caught my attention

I decided to message him
About 10 minutes later
I got a message from him
Basically introducing himself
..it didn't seem like he saw my message
Then a minute later
He responded saying he hadn't!

So that was weird..

Two days later
we exchanged numbers
I think we talked every single day
until we had our first date 8 days later

He lives a half hour outside the city
which normally turns me away from someone
But I decided to meet him anyway

He's a firefighter and had to work at 11pm that night
So we met at 6 and had until about 10pm

It was a great night
Awesome conversation
Never once felt awkward
I am very attracted to him
And when we kissed and said goodbye
I wanted to do some sort of happy dance in my car
But didn't want to be like
Drew Barrymore in Fifty First Dates
and have him see me :)

The next day we talked all day
The day after
We were planning our next date
Which is 5 days from now.. 7 days after the first one

I am so excited to see him again!
