Asheville Half Marathon is DONE! Since I was unable to train until 2 weeks ago I had a goal of finishing around 3 hrs. Well, my unofficial time at 13.1 miles was 2:59:51! (The whole event distance was 13.4 miles according to my Garmin). I'm very happy with my run! #ashevillemarathonambassador #avlhalf #runAVL2021 #runwithus #halfmarathon #ashevillelife #ashevillehalfmarathon #blueridgemountains #westernnorthcarolina #buildingupmybase #runhappy #fitnessfun #halfmarathontraining (at Asheville, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMpySHvhQaE/?igshid=1ta3kzgdfg6sh

Due to the move to Weaverville and winter weather Phil hasn't been able to go cycling and I have hardly trained for the Asheville Half Marathon that is just two weeks from today so we drove down to Greenville's Swamp Rabbit Trail and did our respective workouts in beautiful 60 degree weather! I'm determined to have a happy half! #ashevillemarathonambassador #runAVL2021 #runwithus #halfmarathon #ashevillehalfmarathon #blueridgemountains #westernnorthcarolina #buildingupmybase #fitnessfun (at Falls Park on the Reedy River) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMF6oQ0B46O/?igshid=1b9kswwp03y97
