Well! I finished my first 1/2 Marathon today and what a beautiful day for it! Here are the stats:
There were 60 finishers in the Female 35 to 39 age group and 868 finishers in the 1/2 Marathon division.
My overall finish place was 611, in my age group finish place was 28 and my gender finish place was 235. My time 2:20:23.89 gave me a 10:43 pace per mile.
My 3M time was 31:09.85 for a pace of 10:23 per mile
My 6M time was 1:02:55.03 for a pace of 10:35 per mile
My 10M time was 1:46:23.53 for a pace of 10:52 per mile
I finished and I had such a great time with friends and family that were there to cheer me on! Thanks to those that cheered me in spirit wish all of you could have been there too!
I was introduced at the awards ceremony and had my letter about Johnathon read to the crowd. It was so awesome to be recognized for doing what I have set out to do. I feel like Johnathon has touch so many lives still and he continues to today, I am so happy that he was a part of my life if even for such a short time. He has helped me spread the word about Childhood Cancer even 10 years after he has left he lives on still through stories and spirit.
I feel more motivated than ever and feel so blessed to have the friends that I do that support me so much!
With each race and each time I talk about Johnathon I get that much closer to finding peace within myself and being able to finally find away to put all of this at peace within myself.
Thanks for sharing in my journey and allowing me and Johnathon into your hearts!

Claresa,
Your story has me in tears. I'm so terribly sorry for the loss of baby Johnathon, what you and he had to endure then and the pain you continue to struggle with today. My name is Becky, we went to high school together at EHS, I linked to here from Ronnie's Myspace page.. :) Your story is so inspiring and I just want to wish you the best of luck in your training, may you find the peace you're searching for. AND, congrats on your 1/2 - you'll love Chicago - Run Mom Run!
