OK, this race was reeeeeally hard for me. It might have had something to do with the fact that I did not train well for it. I'm not sure though. :) For some reason, I could not get myself to run on a regular basis. I just wasn't motivated.
I started the race feeling really good and had a good pace. After mile 6 or 7, I started to feel pretty exhausted. We had to walk a few times, but not for long. To be honest, I did better than I thought I would. Especially because this course it so hilly. I don't think I'll do this one again. (I did it in 2011.) I'll choose a flat course next time. If there is a next time! I'm not sure if I'll do more half marathons. It feels so good when it's over and I like challenging myself, but I don't know... maybe I will try a different challenge. Square dancing? Frisbee? We'll see... running long distances does make you feel pretty accomplished.
Before the race. I was pretty nervous because of my insufficient training.
This face I'm making sums up how I felt. ^^^
Steph did so well. She ran some of it alone, which everyone knows is HARD! Love you, Steph!
