I did it. I finally ran my first half marathon! The Seattle 'RocknRoll' half marathon was a great one to choose for my first. I say that because I know I'll now run more..it's addicting! Before the race I had thoughts that I truly just wanted it over with and that I was tired of training, running, and just the whole idea of it. I can see now why it's so addicting and how my efforts (long runs, sore legs, and vast amounts of conversations with myself wondering why I was doing this...) payed off. The weather was perfect, and the course was great. The energy is overwhelming and literally all around you. We ran through the I-90 tunnel..the energy gave me chills and pushed me through the last three miles. There were so many emotions running, I cannot even describe the feeling. I realized I have great friends with which we support each other and our goals. Meeting up at the end was so great, as it was amazing to see my wonderful husband and son at the finish line.
I did it. I am proud of what I and our team accomplished..did I mention I am one happy gal?
Now...when should I start training for my full?? :)
