On November 14th we took a mini trip to San Antonio for me to run in my first half marathon. I had been training for many months losing lots of weight in the process and gaining lots of strength and speed. I started out only being able to barely run 2 miles but someone told me I would not be able to run the 13.1 by November which made me extremely determined to do it and do it I did. I did the run in 2 hours and 7 minutes and 37 seconds much to the surprise of myself and many others. Running with 32,000 other runners is a major motivator for me and I tried to beat them all, I think I came in somewhere in the 4000 th place. The whole weekend was really fun. We went up on Saturday and hung out along the River Walk and eating lots of carbs. As Jay likes to say I carb overloaded. We did the River Walk boat cruise and the driver actually pulled over for Alex to take a potty break and the the driver had the everyone on the boat cheer for Alex when he got back on the boat much to the surprise of Jay and Alex.
