this saturday i ran my first half-marathon!
i was excited, but nervous... and so happy that i had a bunch of friends that did the half marathon too! we had a great time and everyone did amazing, i was so proud of everyone! i wasn't too happy about the rainy weather, but very grateful that i decided to bring my hat, so it really wasn't an issue. i ended up beating the goal that i set for myself and really enjoyed the run! i still have a lot to learn about racing because the last couple miles about killed me, and i have been so sore the last couple days i could hardly walk! all in all it was a great time and i'm excited for the next one!
my mom brought the boys to cheer me on at the end... i almost cried when i saw them at the end, but still had about a 1/4 of a mile left, so i had to suck it up! :) they also brought me flowers...so sweet!
that face should say it all....
i think it took me about 5 min to get up after squatting down like that!
here are my stats:
time: 1:46:16 (8:07 min mile)
5th in my age group
22nd female overall
83rd finisher
*thank you to my parents for watching the boys the night before, and for bringing them to the race, it meant so much to me to have you there! i love you!
