Run.Run.Run

So I wanted so share my favorite picture from the run (stamped of course because I have not purchased it, yet…

I will say I did play up to the cameras as they were wearing bright yellow vests and thus were easy to spot. I have never had any race photos come out this good (at least, I think it is good, haha). So I will be buying the digital copies There were some other good ones as well.

In addition, I ran the race with my neighbor across the street. She is from France and is moving back (sad!) so I made her a going away present. I actually want it myself.

I cannot wait to give it to her!

Country Music 1/2 Marathon

On April 28th I will be running my second Half Marathon. Now to be completely honest the first one was really a run/walk as I was no where near prepared enough! I did well preparing all through the summer and then sometime in September I had a horrible case of hives for three weeks and really fell out of motivation and dedication.

That does not mean though that I need to do the same thing for this marathon. I am on my way to be prepared but it is so hard to get as many miles in as I need to do and recondition my body to be ready to run it as I have been seriously slacking as it has been cold outside (anyone else??). Now that it is getting warmer again though I am finding my stride again and just pray that I am prepared come that start line on April 28th! Anyone else have any big events coming up?

My First 1/2 Marathon

So I finished my first 1/2 Marathon! No records were broken and I had to walk some but I finished and that is all that matters! I didn’t train as well as I should have and so my muscles were not 100% for this. But I am already signed up for Country Music 1/2 Marathon next April and am so excited!!

My sister and me.

Me, my dad, my sister & family friend Kellie.

10k Running Pictures

So my 10k was this morning! I wore my new necklace that I made and I was ready to run! It was rainy but I was prepared with my visor but it really wasn’t too bad! I had been running a 10k in about an hour 15 minutes, I ran it in just under one hour!! Very exciting for me!! Actually my mom and my sister were at the finish line and they totally missed me (very sad!). Apparently there was a guy juggling and they figured maybe they were watching him and not looking out for me.

Before the race. I was ready!

After the race. I’m still smiling!
