And I was not last, nor did I cry. (First half marathon)
My garmin said 2:41:something and 13.28 miles, 12:09 pace.
Slow as hell, but I finished. Knee was being a stabby whiney bitch for the last 3 miles and I had to take 3 emergency bathroom breaks (crampy and gross from mile 9 on) but all in all it was a good day. The weather was good for running, the course was beautiful, and I ran most of it with a smile on my face. I did walk the water stops, but ran all the rest.
Then sat in the hot tub, went down some water slides and had a margarita.
Oh my gosh I thought it was tomorrow - I wanted to send you some pre-race love!
I'm so happy for you! I knew you could do it! I'm sorry your knee was bugging you, but did you feel good considering? Did you figure out a good breakfast?
I'm so glad you did it and now you can relax!!! Congratulations!!
I am pretty happy that my knee didn't act up until 10. Overall, I am pretty happy with how it went. Slow, but I felt like I finished strong. I had oatmeal and raisins for breakfast.
Thanks so much for all of the support and encouragement!
