It. Was. AWESOME!!!!
If you would have asked me a year ago if I thought that running for 2 hours straight sounded like fun, you would have been answered with a resounding EFF TO THE NO!
But....maybe I'm a little crazy....this last weekend it was a ton of fun! The girls and I woke up at the buttcrack of dawn and headed out to the race site. The energy there was amazing! People were pumped, excitement was high, and the port o potties were FULL! Apparently there were a bunch of folks with the runner's trots. Blech. (But luckily for me, my bowels were on good behavior and made it all the way through the race without complaining)
And 2 hours 6 minutes and 28 seconds later we crossed that finish line!! I was PUMPED to make such good time...my goal was under 10 minute miles the whole way and I DID IT! This is the part where I get cheesy....ok...it was an amazing experience training with 3 of my closest friends and to get to that finish line and see Jordan and the kids cheering me on was one of the proudest moments of my life. Seriously made me so emotional!! Ok....I'm done with the sentimental crap...here, look at pictures!

ReplyDeleteI used to run and I enjoyed it but a car accident made me stop and now I only run if I'm being chased.
Wow, congrats! That's awesome! I wish I had the ambition to run.
ReplyDeleteCongrats boo, that's great!
ReplyDeleteYou are one awesome mama! =) way to go!! I dont think i would be able to do that!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mothers Day to you as well!
Good Work!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You are certainly motivating me, lady. I have my first race (a 5-miler) two weeks from Sunday, and I am shaking in my running shoes due to 3 lost training weeks from a cold and bad allergies.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not ready for a half yet, but hopefully next year!
You rocked it! You go!
ReplyDeleteI'll run one with you! When and where? I've been eying the Disneyworld Half in January. Road trip?
Like how I'm just workin on my fitness in the background? That's right...you can't shake me loose! And I felt like crying at the finish line too....weird.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how you manage to look so pretty after running a half marathon! I'm impressed. :) Also, Presley is ridiculously cute. I love seeing pictures of her. Congrats on a huge accomplishment!

ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to all women - mothers and all those who want to be a mother! I hope you have a wonderful day!
I'm so glad you had a great first Half. You killed it!
ReplyDeleteI've been out for 3 weeks with this ankle sprain and I can't wait for a good, long run in a few weeks!
We should TOTALLY do the Disneyland Half!
Good for you! That's so awesome! I could maybe run for 2 minutes, but definitely NOT 2 hours! You are some kind of super woman!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are AWESOME! HaHa, there is NO WHERE in my mind/body at this point that I could find or even muster up the energy to do that. Sooooo glad it went well! Great work Lady! You're right... PURE AWESOMENESS! :D
