Saturday I completed my first half marathon in Louisiana and my 11th overall. I have to say that this is one of my favorites that I have done so far. I was up at 3am to make the 2 hour drive to Lafayette, most of you know that Kyle had to work so he had to sit this one out. I knew the weather had potential to get warm so I brought my pullover just in case.
The race started at 7:30 and it was about 50 degrees, roughly 5 miles in I got hot and took it off, not complaining about the 70 degree weather that ended up happening in mid-December. I knew I was fast when I realized that I had beat my best 10 miler time by 8 minutes. I slowed down a bit to take in the scenery (I didn't take any photos boo) and enjoy the course. It was a big loop through neighborhoods and tree lined back roads plus it was relatively flat, which made for an awesome time.
I crossed the finish line and realized that I gained a PR!! I beat my fastest half time by 3 minutes. Hey, it isn't much but I'll take it.

The medal is pretty awesome and it's a bottle opener. :)
I didn't feel the need to stick around for the festivities afterwards so I headed home. Kyle ended up having to work a full day so we didn't make it to the Christmas parade, I wasn't bummed because I knew I was stick getting mexican food for dinner haha.
It was a great time and makes me even more excited for our half in New Orleans this weekend.
I hope you all had a great weekend!
