My First Half-Marathon

Debbi and I before the race started
Starting the race
Running
Oh Yeah!
Crossing the finish line
My race stats. The altitude slowed me down because it was difficult to catch my breath and I was getting a stitch in my side. Somewhere around mile 9, my leg started to seriously cramp up and it was difficult to run. However, when I saw the finish line, I ran in the last 1/2 mile. I was ahead of Debbi for most of the race, but she passed me at mile 12 and finished two minutes ahead of me. My official chip time was 03:10:59. Not bad for my first race! 

I bought a juicer

I bought a juicer - The Omega 8004. 
I used my 20% coupon from Bed, Bath, & Beyond, so I got it at a very reasonable price. 


My first batch of vegetable juice. 
(Kale, Handful of Baby Carrots, 1 Red Delicious Apple, 1 Lime, Handful of Cilantro, Hint of Ginger) 
I've been juicing for about two weeks now, and I can TOTALLY tell a difference. 
My energy level is higher and I generally feel better.
The juicer was delivered in a giant box with another box in it, which my cat was really happy about.
