I ran a half marathon on December 6th. I was excited to be able to train for a big race because Tyler has been around on Saturday mornings again, and I'm finally not pregnant or have a needy baby. It's been over 2 years since my last race. I wasn't sure what to expect but my goal was under 2 hours. I rocked it and surprised myself by finishing the race at 1:54:35 at a 8:44 min/mi pace. I finished 34/157 women and in my age group 8/28. It was a great course, mostly along bike paths in Irvine and it was perfect weather. I had forgotten how much I love the race atmosphere and I'm already wanting to do another one soon.
This is with my friend and training buddy, Stephanie. This is about mile 2 or 3.
Crossing the finish line.
We're all done and already had sore legs!
Tyler brought the girls to cheer for me at the finish line. I had visions of a cute picture of my cheerleaders, but neither girl wanted to cooperate. Ahh, kids...
I'm glad Tyler was willing to watch the kids for me on Saturdays so I could do all my long runs and I loved having a good friend to train with! Sadly my knee has been feeling weird since the race, so I haven't even been able to run since. Hopefully it heals up soon!
