WAITING FOR THE RACE TO BEGIN!!
SO HAPPY AND FULL OF ENERGY!
THIS IS WHERE I WAS BOOKING IT HA HA
MY BIGGEST SUPPORT
THIS GIRL WAS INSANE, HER FEET AREN'T EVEN TOUCHING THE GROUND SHE WAS SO FAST(THAT IS GOOD FORM, IS WHAT BOBBY IS TRYING TO TEACH ME ;))
I CAN STOP RUNNING YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!
WELL WE SURVIVED THE RACE... IT WAS CALLED LOVE YOUR BODY WOMENS ONLY RACE.. I WAS THINKING AWESOME 10K IS A GREAT AMOUNT NOT TOO LITTLE NOT TOO MUCH, THAT IS UNTIL I RAN THIS RACE HA HA HA... IT WAS AN UPHILL CLIMB PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE 1ST HALF WITH A LITTLE DOWNHILL FUN THEN ON TO A GIGANTIC HILL WHEN YOU TURNED THE CORNER.. I FINISHED IN 1 HR AND 3 MIN ( WHICH I THINK WE ALL DID LESS BECAUSE THAT WAS THE TIME I CROSSED THE FINISH LINE BUT I DIDN'T CROSS THE STARTING LINE 1ST SO MY CHIP SHOULD HAVE CALCULATED MY START TIME AS AN INDIVIDUAL NOT A GROUP!) HA HA I STARTED OFF WITH THIS CRAZY AMOUNT OF ENERGY AND THEN JUST TOOK OFF AROUND MILE 4 I WISH I HAD MY SISTER WITH ME BECAUSE WE FOR SURE HELPED EACHOTHER GET THROUGH THE MARATHON... I BOOKED IT DOWN THE LAST HILL, ALMOST ROLLING MY ANKLE IN THE PROCESS OOPS.. I AM NOT SURE WHAT IT IS BUT WHEN I SEE THAT LAST MILE SIGN I JUST START BOOKING IT... I NOW REALIZE I NEED TO WORK ON MY BREATHING AND ENERGY/SPEED RATIO... I WILL GET BURSTS OF ENERGY AND JUST BOOK IT, THEN HAVE TO SLOW FOR A MINUTE TO REGROUP.. I NEED TO READJUST MY IPOD TO RUNNING MUSIC)MICHAEL JACKSON WAS ACTUALLY AWESOME) THAT WAY I CAN HAVE A BEAT TO RUN TO.. I ALWAYS THOUGHT ANGRY MUSIC WAS THE KEY AND BOBBY TOLD ME IT ACTUALLY MAKES YOU MORE TIRED BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO REGULATE YOUR RUN PATTERN OR BREATHING.. I OF COURSE WAS LIKE UMMM NO ANGRY MUSIC GIVES ME POWER SO I TESTED AND OF COURSE MY BABY WAS RIGHT (I NEED TO ALWAYS LISTEN TO HIM WHEN IT COMES TO RUNNING, HE IS AWESOME AND FULL OF INFORMATION AND ADVICE..) ALL IN ALL IT WAS A GOOD RUN, AND I AM HAPPY THAT WE SIGNED UP!! NOW ON TO THE NEXT RACE(I AM PRETTY SURE IT WILL BE A BIKING RACE, I WANT TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING NEW AND GET MOTIVATED AGAIN!)
** just last weekend we did a team marathon relay,5 people run 5.2 miles to make a full marathon it was actually a lot of fun.. I almost had a heart attack because I took a 5 hr energy shot and half way through the race my arms went numb and my heart felt like it was about to explode so I had to walk for a minute ha ha so I made it in 46 min kind of bummed because I wanted to run a little faster but still under 9 min so other than that good times.. I am proud of our team, and being there to support each other... Way to go team on our 1st team race...
*This is our marathon team..
*That guy was in pretty far ahead of me and I ended up beating him ha Guess I had quite the adrenaline rush!!
