I have so much to say about this amazing experience, but have not processed enough to really be able to write. SO… for your reading fun, these are my highlights:
1. I ran my own race with my goals in mind and finished in 4:27:29
2. I had a great first half – 2:08
3. I ran with my half marathon buddy, Jen, until mile 22
4. The hills… so much to say about the hills
5. The half marathon merge was NOT fun – lots of dodging and weaving
6. That last 6.2 were all mental
7. The medal is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen (it opens!!)
8. I will make shifts training plan next time to incorporate more strength
9. My watch didn’t catch so I ran by feel
10. I WILL do another one (but not for a little while)
More to come… But for now – I AM A MARATHONER (again)!!
I want to see that medal in person so I can be sufficiently jealous! 😉
