I have never been a runner, but after having kids I decided the quickest way to get the baby weight off was to run it off. Determined after every baby to get to my former self, I slipped my running shoes on and got myself back on the treadmill.
I usually run between 4-6 miles every other day. I started thinking all my friends and even my sisters have run half-marathons, whats my problem? So I decided I would do it. I had made it up to 10 miles a couple of times and pittered out.
Last night I decided I was a baby, and I WOULD do 13.2 Miles. I got up at 4:30 am and started. I had no excuses that early to stop, and since I am a fair weather runner I did it all in the comfort of my living room watching FOX new, and listening to general conference.
Feelin' good at 12.5
I yelled for Ben and the kids to come cheer me on.
No one cared.
Feelin' tired at 13.25
Ben finally came and took some pictures!

Great Job!! Your Rock!!
I mean you rock!!
Awesome!!! Good for you Jennifer! Mimi and I ran this morning too but we were done at 5 miles! By the way, you should sign up and run a Half it would be way more fun. I can't imagine getting up at 4:30 and running on a treadmill the entire distance. You are one crazy and dedicated momma. You should be proud of yourself!

Alls I have to say about this is.. I would never run on a treadmill for my half marathon! Ughh..but on the negative side, I took my Ipod on mine and it died on mile 3...least you have a TV!
You are awesome, 4:30 wow you are so dedicated, I wish I had half the motivation that you do!
I would have puked waking up at 430 am, much less run a half. Way to go girl!

Wow you are so inspiring! Way to go! Can I borrow some determination?
AWESOME!!!!!!
I am SOOOOO impressed. Treadmills are so hard for me. I lOVE that you MAKE time for exercise. I find so many excuses, but instead of making excuses, you get up at 4:30 and just do it. You are such a good example. Good Job!
