Jan 11 2026 - Houston Half Marathon

I completed my first half marathon! I didn’t prepare as well as I hoped I would, but just pushed through to finish the race. My Apple watch even died within the first 5 miles of the race! I was most worried that my knee would start hurting, but I tried Gu gel packs for the first time and it did the trick for me. My finish time was 2:15:32. I had terrible blisters afterwards, but I’m excited to sign up for my next one. Who knows, maybe I’ll be doing the full marathon next time!
