My First Half Marathon

Hi guys!

So I ran my very first half marathon and I filmed it all for you guys!
I decided not to worry about how FAST I could run it. I decided to run at my sister's pace and push her so that we could finish hand in hand! We did AWESOME! We ran 10:1 splits. Therefore running for ten minutes then walking for 1 minute.

ADVISE: always go to the bathroom RIGHT before running. I had to go and was stuck at a line for TEN minutes!

SO much fun! Our time: 2hr30min9secs

NEXT, running 20K on July 25th and running another half marathon on September 26th!
This time, MY pace! Ready to run it FAST! Will film again!!

I hope you guys enjoyed it and congrats to everyone who ran the Ottawa race last Sunday!
Thank you to all the volunteers who made the experience so amazing!
And to all of the people that held out their hands to give us high fives along the way!

I love you all!

Much love,
Jess
xoxo

Training for my 1st in Feb. Thanks.

If you want hot oatmeal in the hotel, use the coffee maker to heat the water. That is how I used to cook ramen in the dorm. ;)

How did you train for the half marathon? Did you train for months and how often, up to the race, did you run?
