WOOHOO!!!
YEs...i am glad that we did it...and now...I AM glad it is OVER>...know that I have some WORK TO DO!!!like xtraining more...and running longer during the week.....and MOST of all eating better....
I have to confess there were no bathrooms but I took care of that along the way..something I NEVER EVER Thought would happen...but then..i have never run a half marathon....gu'd at mile 6...and 8 but something was missing...I never really recovered the pace after that.........of course it could have something to do from the hills from hell...........know Mark told us...but you have to see it to believe it....yuck!.......I started out with Linda and Shawn..who ALWAYS complain about the pace that i run...and yep..they are right....ended up with Amanda who began to take on the philosophy of run til you get tired...and then just walk..so we threw the 5:1 out the door the last 4 miles....!..it was sure good to run with someone at the tail end....her dad doubled back to run with us...and encourage us....cause there was a mean looking walker behind us...steady and sure...we just knew he was going to catch up.....
I am going to hate when Melissa quits riding her bike..even tho' I know that she is not....her words of encouragement are soooo nice..........especially if I am running by myself........think we can have an official 'encourager'?.............
ok..problem....I have had a bad headache for the last 3 long runs ...i had thought that maybe i was not drinking enough....so i really made sure the last 2 runs that i kept the fluids going....came home today and got in the bed....did not get the rest last night that i knew i needed....but i was so dang excited.................but NOW my head is killing me...knew on the drive home that it was going to be bad.....think about it and if you have suggestions...let me know......
yes..we ARE marathoners......still cannot say enough thanks to mark..for encouragin me to run..it has been one of the best things i have ever done....!!
and so you know...my supply of jelly beans are on there way from walmart......and i fully intend to eat a handful..and keep them as my own reward for the long runs.....!!over and out folks...going to visit with my sister in law..who plans to cook something delish for me tonight.....
