Jenie & I always wanted to do a half marathon together so we signed up for this one last winter! It was a huge race & we were super excited! I stayed in a hotel with her and Brock the night before!
I was trying really hard to get as close to 2:00:00 as possible. I knew that I probably wouldn't be able to do it, but I wanted to see how long I could keep my pace. I was doing really well until about mile 9 when I saw Genna & Mom cheering for me, I was SO tired! Around mile 10 I saw Drew, Peg, Don & Dylan which gave me some more motivation, but I crashed after that and had to slow way down. After going slower for miles 10 and 11 I sped up and finished strong. I was exhausted after the race, I could hardly walk for a few minutes! It was a lot of fun though, it was great to see how hard I could actually push myself - all of my training paid off!! Results:
Mom & I signed up for the Springfield Half Marathon and we were stoked to run it! We were both just hoping that we would finish! I took a half day off school and we drove down to Bloomington to drop Dylan off with the Kundes. Then we drove to Springfield and checked into our hotel and got our race packets. We then went out on the town to a few local bars/restaurants. We had a lot of fun that night!
Race day was a little nerve racking but once we started running we knew we were going to do awesome! We ran the whole time (no walking) and talked throughout the whole race! Drew, Dylan and Peg came to meet us after the race! :) There were a lot of President Lincolns walking around (it was a Lincoln themed race all around his life). Results:
