My heart is full to bursting with happiness and joy today! The race was more fun than I thought it would be! I had hoped to beat my previous 28:55 record and I killed it! My time was 23:47!
I can only assume it was the adrenaline rush of the race that got me to the finish line that fast. Right after I started running, I realized I forgot my inhaler! I had to walk for a minute so I could text all my family asking someone to run me my inhaler from my purse! My sisters Julia and Bella saved the day! After the first kilometer I saw them on the side. I hit it twice and off I flew! Runkeeper (running app) kept me updated every 2 minutes on my time, distance and speed. My average speed was over 8 mph. My previous best was 6.5. I felt it several times, especially uphills but I pushed through it! My whole family came out to cheer me on, and at the end, they threw the dye powder all over me! I was coated from head to toe!! It was sooooo fun!!! I would recommend it to anyone and everyone everywhere, any fitness level! I felt pretty cool passing people (not in a mean way; just proud of myself). All my training paid off. The muscles I've built for the past few months did their jobs! It is amazing what the human body is capable of doing. It can change and adapt so fast! This was a day to remember!! I am going to save and frame by racing bib with my number on it: 6263.
Here are some pictures taken by my sister!:
Yeah so proud of you sweety!
