I DID IT! No longer a 13.1 virgin and so happy. I'll post more later but we've got a busy day- birthday parties, baptism, and showers. :)
Avg. Pace 9:50 and I'm okay with that for sure! This is the longest I have ever ran in my ENTIRE LIFE! Ever. And also it was more of a training run for me for Hobble Creek.
So it wasn't quite 13.1, but close enough. I walked around a lot after, so I'm counting it. I think I took the wrong loop at the end and that's what cut it short. Just following the leader ha ha.
This was really fun, thank you to all of you who put this together! I loved the shirt, the treats after were fantastic and the company was the best. It was so fun to meet all you people that seriously keep me going everyday!
I was feeling pretty good until about mile 10 and then it got a little rough but I was scared that if I started walking I wouldn't be able to start running again. :) I tried about 1/4 a thing of gu at mile 6 and it kind of made me sick so I decided not to take anymore. I should have probably taken some at mile 9 but oh well. I finished! My lower back is EXTREMELY sore and my knees feel like I have arthritis (what I imagine arthritis feels like) but I loved it.
