#6- Run a Half Marathon

This is for #6- Run a Half Marathon


Well, it's almost time to do this one. On Sunday, TOMORROW, I will be running my first (and quite possibly last, but who knows?) half marathon: The Rock and Roll Half Marathon in Chicago.

I heard this was the best one to run because there is so much entertainment on the run that it's helpful. I am glad for this because I will definitely be needing something to distract me for some of the time. You know that point when your mind realizes what you're doing to your body? Yeah, that little stretch of time.

I got my handheld water bottle, my goo packets, and my moral support all ready to go. Pictures will be posted soon....

All I have to say is this, my goal is to finish. I just want to run the WHOLE thing, and I want to finish it.

{Truth}

Well, I did it!! I ran super slow, but I ran the whole time and I finished it in 3 hours. (3 hours of running...yikes!) It was fun at times, and mostly hard, but I did it! woot!

I made my two goals and I couldn't have run it with my Bff Megan. Seriously. She was refilling my water bottle when I needed it, getting ice at EVERY medical station and putting it down my back, and telling me when to take my GUs and water. She did all this while thanking every band/person that came out to cheer and making me believe I could run 13.1 miles, even when it hurt like hell. 

Thank you Megan!! I couldn't have done that with out your mental and physical support :)
