| I am very happy! I ran my first 13 and felt great thanks to fueling and post race advice from a really smart lady. time was 2:12- I was hoping for 2:10 so i am fine with that. I ate gummies and a chocolate gel and drank gaterade and water and just felt great! | | Comments(3) |

| Stupid wind!! 25 mph again - 4 miles felt like 8 -- I got an ipad and I''m not very savvy with it yet, when i start to type it cuts me off after a couple words on the blog--thats why some of my entries didn't make sense!! Well, that and that sometimes I don't make sense :) | | Add Comment |

| So I got myself on the top of a hill with a 20 mph wind at my back to see if I could run at Karen's speed. I was able to hit it for a second by pretending a large dog was chasing me but then the dog just caught me and ate me cuz i couldn't breath!! Wow--i just couldn't imagine running that fast (especially without hill and wind). | | Comments(3) |

| avg 8:59 mile. My husband ran first mile with me at about 8:30, slow for most, good for me. had to stop several times to throw rocks at a dog--he ran with me for 2 miles and i couldn't get rid of him! Bonus for the morning--we saw lots of worms so my husband got a bunch for fishing tomorrow-spose to be nice day and it will be his first fishing outing (last night we had to go buy some new lures-apparently all of the ones from last summer don't work anymore?) I am not a fisher so I don't understand. Probably lures are like shoes or barbie dolls, you can never have too many! | | Comments(3) |

My ipad doesn't let me enter info on this part so I wasn't able to post. What an awesome time we had!!! My biggest problem was my teeth were getting dried out cuz I just couldnt' quit smiling!! It was so much fun!!! I went home and signed up for my next half--I just have to be able to do better! I am used to running alone in the country on back roads with hills and open fields with wind. I usually don't even see a single car on my whole run so I was just goofy having all these people to be with and so much cheering and bands along the way.
I picked up my new best friend who was a total stranger until 5 days ago, we met on this running blog. It was the greatest experience hosting her and getting to pick her brain and have her support and support her!!! Just for the record Karen Kantor is not an axe murderer as many of my friends and family were afraid when they heard I had invited a stranger to stay with us! We seriously had the greatest time!!
I would never have guessed how much the support of people on this blog would come to mean to me--thank you so much for the words of encouragement and congratulations. | |
