I did it:
13.1 miles, baby!
I ran the Hobbler Half yesterday morning. It was AWESOME! I ran with my good friends Katharine and Alisha. We were the 'pink team' and got plenty of shout-outs.
Things I learned:
-don't try to drink from a cup WHILE running. You actually have to stop running to drink, or else it goes up your nose and all over your shirt.
-Goo is disgusting. Who wants to eat thick chocolate icing stuff at mile 8?
-A person really CAN run 13.1 miles on only 3 hours of sleep
-Be prepared for sore legs the next morning. It's SO painful getting out of bed the morning after!
The best part: seeing my boys cheer me on with surprise t-shirts Brenan *designed* (via red sharpie) for the event. This is the moment I spotted them at mile 10 with the shirts (hence the hands over the mouth). Tender, sweet moment.
Party at the finish line. Pretty sure McKay ate like 5 half-bananas. At least we got our money's worth.
Mom?? Are you okay??
It was fantastic, and totally worth the effort. Half marathon, anyone? I'm ready for more!
