Best of Jimmy Fallon

I ran a half marathon and survived

I finally ran my first half marathon, a goal that has been on my list since I started this blog a couple years ago (in fact, it was mentioned in my very first post). It was such a great feeling to cross the finish line with my friend and running partner, Tami! Even though I've been running for several years, I've struggled with calling myself a "runner". Well, after training for and completing a half marathon, I can finally say with confidence that I am a runner.
